Advantages for banks and their customers<br />
Banks and their customers will be able to benefit from the c<strong>on</strong>siderable potential for rati<strong>on</strong>alizati<strong>on</strong><br />
and cost-cutting offered by the <str<strong>on</strong>g>IBAN</str<strong>on</strong>g> and <str<strong>on</strong>g>IPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> standards. As internati<strong>on</strong>al credit transfers become<br />
increasingly important, straight-through processing will be almost completely automatic.<br />
Fees and costs are allowed to fall as a result of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>IBAN</str<strong>on</strong>g>, and internati<strong>on</strong>al credit transfers can<br />
be processed more efficiently and much faster than before.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>IBAN</str<strong>on</strong>g>s c<strong>on</strong>tain all the <str<strong>on</strong>g>informati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> needed to transfer a payment released by the ordering customer<br />
to the beneficiary, with no need for any further manual interventi<strong>on</strong>, irrespective of the number<br />
of banks involved in various European countries (straight-through processing).<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>IBAN</str<strong>on</strong>g>s practically eliminate err<strong>on</strong>eous payments – which are quite comm<strong>on</strong> in the present system<br />
of internati<strong>on</strong>al credit transfers – thanks to the validati<strong>on</strong> of the check digit. Check digits can be<br />
verified as early as in the ordering customer’s payment software, or at the very latest at the bank.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>IBAN</str<strong>on</strong>g>s are an integral part of other new European standards such as the <str<strong>on</strong>g>IPI</str<strong>on</strong>g>s.<br />
