BNI Purwokerto IBAN for PayPal: Clarification Needed

There is no "BNI Purwokerto" as a separate bank. Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) is a single national bank with branch offices in Purwokerto, Central Java. Each branch may have different SWIFT/BIC codes, but Indonesia does not use IBAN.

Key Facts

• Bank: Bank Negara Indonesia (PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk)
• SWIFT/BIC: BNINIDJA (head office, Jakarta); branches may use same or have extended codes
• IBAN: Not used in Indonesia. IBAN is European/Middle Eastern standard.
• For PayPal: Link your BNI account via bank transfer / local bank linking — PayPal uses domestic account number + bank code, not IBAN

How to Link BNI to PayPal (Indonesia)

1. Log into PayPal Indonesia account
2. Wallet → Link a bank account
3. Select "Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI)"
4. Enter your 16-digit BNI account number (starts with 0 or 1 typically)

If PayPal Asks for IBAN

• Indonesian PayPal (paypal.co.id) uses local bank linking, not IBAN
• If receiving international transfer to your BNI account: provide SWIFT BNINIDJA + your account number + branch name

Bottom line: No IBAN for BNI Purwokerto or any Indonesian bank. Use SWIFT BNINIDJA for international wires; link local account number for PayPal Indonesia.
