Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out if anyone here has been experiencing any problems recently when trying to transfer monies online at Finans bank to a UK bank account? The reason I ask this is that I have previously transfered funds from my GBP account to my UK Nationwide account without any problems at all, but when trying the same transfer this week I constantly get an error message telling that my IBAN is not correct. I have checked this and double checked that it is correct, I hace typed it into the required box and also copied and pasted but still no joy. Just wondering is it me or are others having the same problem? Thanks.

your iban no must be prefixed by IB
your iban no if you do not have it can be got
from your nationwide bank

we all now have an International Bank account number; Finansbank have updated their systems so you can see yours online.

I also bank with Nationwide but haven't noticed any changes to my account number...

Very interesting. Thanks for all the replies so far by the way. Currently my Nationwide IBAN is as follows GBxx NAIA 0701 16xxxxxxxx (the x's are numbers also) so are you saying that the format I should be using now is IBGBxx NAIA 0701 16xxxxxxxx or drop the GB to make it IBxx NAIA 0701 16xxxxxxxx .

Your IBAN number appears on your paper statement, directly above your list of detailed transactions.
The IBAN should not contain spaces when entered
forget about prefixed by IB as i think that is only for hsbc bank sorry

Thanks for that stevb1. That is the IBAN that I am using but am still being told on the web page that my IBAN is wrong.

Nichola as you bank with the same bank as me in the UK can I ask when you last made a transfer from Finans to Nationwide?

Have been having the same problems. Phoned Finansbank Istanbul and they say do not put iban no in iban no box but in the acc no box above, put the whole no in from GB onwards. Problem is UK has 22 figure iban while Turkey has 26, but it used to work okay!!!
Have just tried it so fingers crossed.

Top man Smudge! so like this xx NAIA 0701 16xxxxxxxx in the account box which is just above the IBAN box.
