Generate Random IBAN

Somali IBAN generator

IBANs in Somalia have 23 characters and start with SO. The one below is random, follows the national structure and passes the MOD-97 check, so form validation accepts it. No bank issued it.

  1. Country SO
  2. Check digits 27
  3. Bank code 5092
  4. Branch code 528
  5. Account number 775349885593
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: digits only. There are no verified bank codes for this country yet, so the bank code stays random. Never use it for payments.

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

IBAN length 23
BBAN length 19
BBAN pattern 4n3n12n
Structure SOkk bbbb sss cccccccccccc
Example, electronic SO211000001001000100141
Example, print SO21 1000 0010 0100 0100 141
Letters in the BBAN None, digits only

Position by position

Segment Positions Length Example
Country 1–2 2 SO
Check digits 3–4 2 21
Bank code 5–8 4 1000
Branch code 9–11 3 001
Account number 12–23 12 001000100141

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.

What to test with SO IBANs

  • Accept exactly 23 characters for SO, after removing spaces, and reject 22 or 24.
  • Digits only after the check digits: a validator for SO should reject any letter there.
  • Ready-made invalid values for negative tests: SO211000001001000100142 (last character changed, MOD-97 fails) and SO21100000100100010014 (one character missing).
  • Bank directory checks: the bank code is random in both modes, so a directory lookup will usually fail.

About IBANs in Somalia

Somali IBANs are 23 characters long and numeric: a 4-digit bank code, a 3-digit branch code and a 12-digit account number. The format took effect in January 2023, and by 27 March 2023 every bank in Somalia was using the IBAN for all transactions through the country's National Payment System.

Questions about IBANs in Somalia

How long is an IBAN in Somalia?

23 characters: the country code SO, two check digits and a national part (BBAN) of 19 characters.

What does an IBAN from Somalia look like?

For example SO21 1000 0010 0100 0100 141. That is the print format, in groups of four. Forms and files usually take it without spaces: SO211000001001000100141.

Can Somali IBANs contain letters?

No. After the check digits, SO IBANs contain only digits: the BBAN pattern is 4n3n12n.

Where is the bank code in Somali IBANs?

The bank code, at positions 5–8: 1000 in the registry example. The branch code is at positions 9–11 (001).

Will a test IBAN for Somalia pass validation?

It passes the checks most forms run: country code, length, character format and MOD-97 check digits. Checks that need bank data will usually reject it: the bank code is random, and an account lookup or a payee name check will not confirm the account.

Can I use a generated Somali 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.
