Norwegian IBAN generator

IBANs in Norway have 15 characters and start with NO. The one below is random, follows the national structure and passes the MOD-97 check, so form validation accepts it. No bank issued it.

Format

NO2760019888528

  1. Country NO
  2. Check digits 27
  3. Bank code 6001
  4. Account number 988852
  5. National check 8
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.

Position by position

Segment Positions Length Example
Country 1–2 2 NO
Check digits 3–4 2 93
Bank code 5–8 4 8601
Account number 9–14 6 111794
National check 15 1 7

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.

National check digits

Besides the two IBAN check digits, NO IBANs carry national check digits inside the BBAN, at position 15. They come from the domestic account number and follow a national rule.

The last digit is a MOD 11 check over the 10 digits before it, with weights 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Account numbers that would need the value 10 are never issued.

This generator calculates them with the official algorithm, in both modes, so validators that check them accept the IBANs on this page.

How national check digits work

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
DNB 1200
Nordea 6001
SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge 3201
SpareBank 1 SMN 4200
Handelsbanken 9041
Danske Bank 8101

What to test with NO IBANs

  • Accept exactly 15 characters for NO, after removing spaces, and reject 14 or 16. This is the shortest format in the IBAN Registry, a useful lower bound for length checks.
  • Digits only after the check digits: a validator for NO should reject any letter there.
  • For a negative test of the national check, change the character at position 15 and recalculate the IBAN check digits (the validator suggests them). The IBAN then passes MOD-97 but fails the national check.
  • Ready-made invalid values for negative tests: NO9386011117948 (last character changed, MOD-97 fails) and NO938601111794 (one character missing).
  • Bank directory checks: by default the generator uses real bank codes such as 6001 (Nordea), and random ones with Realistic off, so you can test a known and an unknown bank.

About IBANs in Norway

Norwegian IBANs have 15 characters, the shortest format in the IBAN Registry: a 4-digit bank code, a 6-digit account number and one national check digit. Short formats like this are a good edge case for code that assumes a minimum length.

Questions about IBANs in Norway

How long is an IBAN in Norway?

15 characters: the country code NO, two check digits and a national part (BBAN) of 11 characters.

What does an IBAN from Norway look like?

For example NO93 8601 1117 947. That is the print format, in groups of four. Forms and files usually take it without spaces: NO9386011117947.

Can Norwegian IBANs contain letters?

No. After the check digits, NO IBANs contain only digits: the BBAN pattern is 11n.

Where is the bank code in Norwegian IBANs?

The bank code, at positions 5–8: 8601 in the registry example. By default (realistic mode) the generator uses real bank codes, such as 1200 for DNB.

Will a test IBAN for Norway pass validation?

It passes the checks most forms run: country code, length, character format and MOD-97 check digits. The national check digits inside the BBAN are computed with the official algorithm, so a validator that also checks them accepts this IBAN. 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 Norwegian 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.
