How Belgian Account Check Digit Calculator Works?

The Belgian Account Check Digit Calculator works by dividing the first 10 digits of the 12-digit Belgian account number by 97 and using the remainder as the last 2 digits. A remainder of 0 becomes 97.

  1. 1Enter the first 10 digits (3-digit bank code + 7-digit account).
  2. 2Compute the remainder of the 10-digit number divided by 97.
  3. 3Replace a remainder of 00 with 97.
  4. 4Append the 2 digits and format as XXX-XXXXXXX-XX.

Belgian Account Check Digit Calculator Formula

The Belgian account formula is Check = N mod 97, with 0 replaced by 97.

Check = N₁₀ mod 97
Check = 0 → 97
  • N₁₀ is the 10-digit account base.
Worked example: 539-0075470-??
5390075470 mod 97 = 34
Account = 539-0075470-34
IBAN = BE68 5390 0754 7034
