A local IBAN is a bank account number formatted for a specific country, using that country's routing structure inside the international IBAN standard. Employers, landlords, and government bodies often require a local IBAN so domestic transfers settle as native payments.
If you live or work abroad, having the right IBAN avoids rejected salary payments and extra conversion steps.
Why a local IBAN matters
Domestic euro payments in the eurozone use SEPA and clear quickly with low fees. Some countries also offer local schemes in other currencies (for example GBP in the UK). Without a matching IBAN, payers may face higher costs or refused transfers.
Local IBAN vs international account
An international account can hold several currencies and IBANs. A local IBAN is the detail you give in one country so you are treated like a resident customer for incoming payments. bunq provides European IBANs and additional local details where available through international accounts.
