SEPA or foreign?

SEPA means Single Euro Payment Area. It makes international payments easier since the bank transfer can be made similarly to home country as well as to foreign countries.

All bank account numbers in SEPA countries are in IBAN form.

IBAN account number

IBAN means International Bank Account Number. You’ll recognize it from the two-letter country code at the beginning of the account number.
