International Bank Account Number s mostly make use of the bank code in specifying IBAN account numbers.The
American Bankers Association has since 1910 used nine-digitrouting transit number s to identify banks in the United States of America, which are used in the automated processing of cheques.Canada uses a "transit number" made up by eight digits, with a hyphen after the fifth one.
Australia has a six-digit prefix to a bank account number that indicates the bank and branch of the account. The prefix is known as the "
