Generate Random IBAN

Faroese IBAN generator

IBANs in Faroe Islands have 18 characters and start with FO. The one below is random, follows the national structure and passes the MOD-97 check, so form validation accepts it. No bank issued it.

New IBAN
  1. Country FO
  2. Check digits 57
  3. Bank code 9181
  4. Account number 1290941317
Generate a list Up to 100 IBANs, as CSV, JSON, SQL or plain text

In CSV, JSON and SQL, every IBAN segment (bank, branch, account, check digits) gets its own column.

MOD-97 valid

Realistic mode: real bank code, random account number. No bank issued this IBAN, but it could match a real account by chance. Never use it for payments.

Check an IBAN

Paste an IBAN from any country to check its length, format and check digits.

Length, pattern and the position of each segment in FO IBANs, with a sample IBAN.

IBAN length 18
BBAN length 14
BBAN pattern 4n9n1n
Structure FOkk bbbb cccccccccc
Example, electronic FO6264600001631634
Example, print FO62 6460 0001 6316 34
Letters in the BBAN None, digits only
National check digits None
Same structure as Denmark (DK), Greenland (GL)

Position by position

Segment Positions Length Example
Country 1–2 2 FO
Check digits 3–4 2 62
Bank code 5–8 4 6460
Account number 9–18 10 0001631634

In the pattern, n stands for a digit, a for an uppercase letter and c for a letter or digit. The number before each letter is how many characters that block has.

Real bank codes in realistic mode

In realistic mode, the default, the generator takes the bank code from this list and keeps the account number random, so no bank issued these IBANs. With Realistic off, the bank code is random too.

Bank Bank code
Føroya Banki (ex BankNordik) 6460
Betri Banki 9181
Norðoya Sparikassi 9865
Suðuroyar Sparikassi 9870

What to test with FO IBANs

  • Accept exactly 18 characters for FO, after removing spaces, and reject 17 or 19.
  • Digits only after the check digits: a validator for FO should reject any letter there.
  • Same structure as Denmark (DK), Greenland (GL). Careful with GL: the two country codes convert to numbers a multiple of 97 apart, so a valid FO IBAN with GL in front still passes MOD-97. Only the country code tells them apart.
  • Ready-made invalid values for negative tests: FO6264600001631635 (last character changed, MOD-97 fails) and FO626460000163163 (one character missing).
  • Bank directory checks: by default the generator uses real bank codes such as 9181 (Betri Banki), and random ones with Realistic off, so you can test a known and an unknown bank.

About IBANs in Faroe Islands

Faroese IBANs are 18 characters long and numeric: a 4-digit bank code (registration number) and a 10-digit account number whose last digit is a check digit. It is the Danish layout with FO as the country code. For Danish account numbers there is no single national algorithm for that check digit: each bank applies its own modulus check. The Faroe Islands are not part of SEPA.

Questions about IBANs in Faroe Islands

How long is an IBAN in Faroe Islands?

18 characters: the country code FO, two check digits and a national part (BBAN) of 14 characters.

What does an IBAN from Faroe Islands look like?

For example FO62 6460 0001 6316 34. That is the print format, in groups of four. Forms and files usually take it without spaces: FO6264600001631634.

Can Faroese IBANs contain letters?

No. After the check digits, FO IBANs contain only digits: the BBAN pattern is 4n9n1n.

Where is the bank code in Faroese IBANs?

The bank code, at positions 5–8: 6460 in the registry example. By default (realistic mode) the generator uses real bank codes, such as 6460 for Føroya Banki (ex BankNordik).

Will a test IBAN for Faroe Islands pass validation?

It passes the checks most forms run: country code, length, character format and MOD-97 check digits. In realistic mode, the default, the bank code is real too, so a bank directory check accepts it. An account lookup or a payee name check will not confirm it, because the account number is random.

Can I use a generated Faroese IBAN to sign up for a service or receive money?

No. It is test data that no bank issued to you. Money sent to it is rejected or, if the number happens to belong to someone, reaches a stranger, and using it for a sign-up, a free trial or a direct debit is misuse. Your own IBAN is in your banking app and on your statements.
