	Customers with accounts in Jordan: IBAN now required for payments to/from accounts in Jordan In compliance with the Central Bank of Jordan, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited in Jordan (HSBC) has successfully applied an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for all your HSBC accounts in Jordan. From 2 February 2014, all banks in Jordan are required to accept and process payment instructions only with a valid IBAN. What is IBAN? IBAN is an international standard for identifying bank accounts. The main purpose of IBAN is to facilitate the automated processing of money transfers to promote straight through processing of all payment transactions.  Applying the IBAN You are now required to provide an IBAN for all instructions for value date on or after 2 February 2014, when making domestic payments from, or receiving payments to accounts in Jordan (with the exception of inter-account transfers and ACH payments in Jordan). In case the IBAN is not used, the processing of both inward and outward payments to/from Jordan accounts will be rejected. If you have an account in Jordan, please ensure that the IBAN is communicated to all parties from whom you are expecting a remittance. Additionally, you will need to amend any standing orders for payments to beneficiary accounts held in banks within Jordan other than HSBC by providing the IBAN equivalent for the beneficiary account. Generating your IBAN You can generate your IBAN by selecting the following link and inputting your 12 digit HSBC account number.

If you would like to discuss this further you may contact your HSBC representative or your local HSBCnet Support Centre.
