Invalid IBAN Number. IBAN is different than account number and may vary by country.

Hi. I have an error in my payment method. "Invalid IBAN Number. IBAN is different than account number and may vary by country."

https://www.xe.com/ibancalculator/sample/?ibancountry=turkey This is Turkey's IBAN format. I do the same thing but still getting error. How can I fix this?

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

I think I found the problem. It's about the swift code. My bank's swift code seems TGBATRISXXX. When I delete the last 3 character(xxx) it works. Try this.

I'm having this same issue. Error goes upon entering IBAN number followed by account number like in cheque books.

Not sure if this is how it is supposed to be done?

Hi Ayesha, 


It looks like you were already able to add your bank account in your Upwork account. Were you looking at adding another bank account?

Hi Fiaz,

 

Please contact your local bank and verify the IBAN number of your bank account.

 

Also, try deleting spaces in the IBAN number and entering it that way.

 

Let us know if the issue persists.

 

Thank you!

Hello there Aleksandar, Im having the same issue when i type my iban it says "Invalid IBAN Number. IBAN is different than account number and may vary by country." could u help me solve this issue

 

Hi Abdul,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. With regards to your IBAN, if the error is invalid, we suggest contacting the bank directly to confirm the IBAN number that you have as well as the format to ensure that the details you enter are correct. If the Swift code or the IBAN of your bank account is not accepted by the system, it means that your bank is not part of our payment partners for your country.
 
However, most of the time, the reason why the IBAN is not accepted is that it was entered in the wrong format.  Please try to enter and re-enter your IBAN all in capital letters without any spaces in between and see if that helps.
 
Once you have the correct bank information, you can proceed to add your payment method. You may also try to add different payment methods available to your account.
