Thank you for the question @bobbysalmon. If you are having trouble with the IBAN for your bank account, I would recommend that you contact your bank to confirm it if you have not done so already. They should be able to help you to confirm the correct information to enter.

One thought, are you entering the IBAN as given by the bank with spaces? I have a feeling that one may have to enter it as one consecutive run without spaces when submitting to Amazon.

I have the same problem, with a UK bank account. I've entered it correctly, without spaces, the box then accepts it and I click 'ADD' at the bottom, it then comes up with 'We were unable to match your IBAN to a valid account'

I have triple checked the numbers are correct, unsure what else I can do?

If you are having a problem adding information for a Barclays bank account this issue may be due to a recent update to their BIC codes. If you contact them and ask for a IBAN number that matches the old style BIC code they should be able to provide it, which should allow you to successfully enter your bank account information.

If you are not a Barclays customer and are still having trouble I would recommend that you send a screenshot of the error message to merch-sellers-contactus@amazon.com and they will be more than happy to look into the issue for you.

I have the same issue with a UK bank (not Barclays) also. I'll contact the merch-seller-contactus and hope they can provide a solution.

I was told the following:

I used this website to find my IBAN and it was spot on. You can validate yours too.

I have been chasing KPD-Amazon on this issue for a month now. The IBAN and BIC code is accurate (thanks for website link), but KPD-Amazon customer service not able to provide resolution up to this point if the forms do not recognise it as valid.

I'm having the same exact issue also with a Barclays account. The details are correct. Has anyone managed to find a resolution for this issue?

Also, I confirmed my details with www.iban.com , they are correct. The problem is on Amazon's side. It's a shame KDP support does not have a phone number. You can only chase an issue by email so many times. If their payment system does not work with a valid UK bank account, it is broken. I hope they will take this seriously.
