    I am trying to do a withdrawal from a betting site but the iban they ask requires a 26 code iban but i know my bank of ireland iban has only 22 figures. How do i go about writing this in a 26 digit format?

    thanks

    Hi j4vier,

    Thanks for your post.

    It's not possible to change your 22 digit IBAN into 26 digits as this would make it invalid. Have you tried adding your correct details? The website may allow up to 26 characters to be entered, as some countries do have longer IBANs, but it should accept a valid IBAN with less than 26 characters.

    Thanks
    Tara

    the site does not seem to accept a 22 digit iban, it just deletes the whole thing after a few seconds

    what would happen if i added 4 zeros before the account number part?

    so it would look like IE75BOFI followed by the sort code, 4 zeros and my account number?

    Hi j4vier,

    There is no way to alter your IBAN to make it fit to a certain website. We would not advise adding extra characters to your IBAN. We could not guarantee that transfers would successfully reach your account in this instance. 

    We would suggest bringing this to the attention of the company involved as they may have previously encountered the same issue and have a solution.

    Thanks
    Tara
