Important to know for payment remitters

If you make a payment within Swedbank Latvia via Internet banking, the bank's system will automatically check if your entered IBAN number is correct for the indicated name and surname or the company's name. If the data does not match the system will inform you about the error. For transfers to other local banks we cannot check if payment requisites are correct.

According to the legislation of Latvian Republic, any credit institution is authorized to credit the transferred amount into the beneficiary's account according to the account number indicated in the payment order. In such case credit institutions may avoid making additional checking, like comparing the name, surname, company's name or ID number that were entered in the payment order. By transferring funds within Swedbank Latvia you will protect yourself from mistakes in money transferring.

Required payment data

  • Beneficiary name, surname or company's name
  • Beneficiary ID number or company's legal ID
  • Beneficiary account number in IBAN format
  • Number of the bill/agreement/customer etc. in case it is a payment for services

Pursuant to Cabinet Regulations No.972 of 12.10.2010 "Regulations concerning the procedures to be followed in effecting payments into the state budget and in recognizing them as having been received, and concerning requirements for use of online payment services in settlements with the state budget" it is no longer necessary to verify at the bank a range of payment orders printed from the Internet Banking site. No confirmation by the bank is required on payment orders that serve as proof of a payment into the state budget (taxes, state duties, fines, paid services, and other non-tax revenue).
The regulations referred to above do not apply to other payments or payees.

From 01.09.2012 the government institutions will use the state budget electronic settlements system called e-Kase for verifying the receipt of payments made via payment services providers (banks). Consequently, payers will no longer need to obtain a confirmation of payment from their payment services provider (bank) and, instead, the government institution itself will verify the receipt of payment.

The regulations apply to

  1. institutions financed out of the state budget;
  2. institutions not financed out of the state budget and capital companies in which a part of the capital of the state has been invested;
  3. notaries public (as far as administration of state budget funds is concerned).

The regulations do not apply to

  1. judicial institutions and payments to be made into the state budget in connection with judicial institution activities;
  2. enforcement officers (sworn bailiffs) and payments to be made into the state budget in connection with enforcement activities;
  3. payments to be made into budgets of local governments and municipal institutions;
  4. payments not made into state budgets.

The table gives a summary of cases when individuals and businesses do or do not need to have the bank's verification on payment orders printed from Internet Banking site.

Verification not necessary Comments Requirements
Payments into state budget by natural and legal persons Taxes, state duties, fines, paid services and other non-tax revenue and the corresponding accounts are listed on the website of the State Treasury. As from 01.09.2012, all institutions use the state budget electronic settlements system called e-Kase for verifying payments.
Verification is necessary Comments Requirements
  1. payments into the state budget in connection with judicial institution activities;
  2. payments to enforcement officers (sworn bailiffs) and payments into the state budget in connection with enforcement activities;
  3. payments to institutions not financed out of the state budget or if the payment is not transferred to state budget (e.g. local governments, tertiary education institutions).
  • tuition fees;
  • municipal duties;
  • duties related to legal proceedings;
  • payments related to enforcement actions.
Verification by the bank: bank employee's stamp and signature on the payment order

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a bank account granted to clients in banks and credit institutions according to the international ISO13616 standard.

The European Bank Standard Committee (ECBS) in the middle 90-ties decided that a more transparent and internationally recognised client account number and financial establishment's identifier should be established in order to decrease the number of errors in payments and accelerate processing of payments. Therefore, in 1997 this committee made a decision on implementation of a new account number format - IBAN in financial establishments of European countries. This format allows to recognise the beneficiary's country and account, as well as check the mathematical correctness of the indicated beneficiary's account.

In each country the length of IBAN account number may be different - even up to 34 letter and digit signs, which consist of:

  • 2 letter country code
  • 2 verification digits
  • bank code
  • bank's client's account number (0-9,A-Z)

Latvia's IBAN corresponds to the international IBAN standard, which in its structure is similar to client account identifiers used in other European countries for cross-border payments and will be recognised in cross-border payment documents in all countries where IBAN standard is implemented.

Latvia's IBAN consists of 21 symbol: 2 letters (country code) + 2 digits (control digits) + 4 letters (bank's BIC code) + 13 signs (account number, for currently shorter account numbers the missing signs will be replaced by zeros).

Swedbank assigned IBAN numbers to all of its clients on February 7, 2004. The old account numbers were transformed, and all newly opened account as from this date are only in IBAN standard.

Swedbank's account number in IBAN format is as follows:

IBAN

From the very cooperation partner (including state authorities) only, who is the holder of the account and is aware of IBAN.

  • Starting from 01.01.2005, payments to Latvian banks will not be accepted if the indicated beneficiary's account number does not comply with IBAN standard.
  • There are no changes regarding payments in other currencies to other countries and the payments will be accepted in the same way as until now.

IBAN always starts with the country code of the respective European country, for example, LV, DE, IT. Additionally, compliance with IBAN of the beneficiary's account number of any country may be checked with the IBAN verification calculator. You can view the IBAN structure of some countries on the home page of European Banks standards in a brochure available for download. One should note that IBAN accounts in other countries usually is not equal to the one used in Latvia, after the country code there may be both letters and digits used.

Obviously there is an error in the account number. In practice, most frequent mistakes are missing symbols, or the digit "1" is mixed with the letter "I", the digit "0" - mixed with the letter "O", there is no country code, etc. In order to clarify the current account, you should contact the beneficiary of payment and specify the account number.

The same way as before, for payments to another bank in Latvia you choose the beneficiary's bank/institution, for example, the State Treasury, BIC: TRELLV22, and in addition to the previous procedure, if you have, you indicate the budget code, for example:

The beneficiary State Treasury
The beneficiary's account No. LV08TREL1060000121000
Beneficiary's bank/institution State Treasury, BIC code: TRELLV22
Information to the beneficiary/Payment purpose corporate income tax advance
Budget code 0194

In the same way as with payments to another bank in Latvia, the beneficiary's bank/institution is chosen to be the State Treasury, BIC: TRELLV22, for example:

The beneficiary Latvian National Library
The beneficiary's account No. LV14TREL2220260010800
Beneficiary's bank/institution State Treasury, BIC code: TRELLV22
Information to the beneficiary/Payment purpose invoice No. 14 DD 05.05.2010.

The same way as with payments to another bank in Latvia, the beneficiary's bank/institution is chosen to be Latvijas Pasts, BIC: LPNSLV21, for example:

The beneficiary Jānis Bērziņš
The beneficiary's account No. LV28LPNS0123456789012
Beneficiary's bank/institution BO VAS Latvijas pasts, BIC LPNSLV21
Information to the beneficiary/Payment purpose invoice No. 14 DD 05.05.2010.
