numbers will have to become mandatory.

The IBAN standard, although initially
developed for payments within the European Union, is now recognised
internationally and minimises the risk of transcription errors in
cross-border payments.
Some Middle Eastern banks have begun to deploy
the IBAN standard already.
UAE-based Al Salam Bank-Bahrain has migrated
to the IBAN standard in September and Islamic lender Ithmaar Bank
has begun educating customers about IBAN as well.
