There is also such a thing as an IBAN calculator – you can check your IBAN number there too, and find out your BIC. Also, you can calculate your IBAN if you have the bank code and account number. 

Which countries use IBAN?

How do I find my account number and IBAN number?

As mentioned above, the numbers are usually displayed in your mobile banking app or its web version. Your account number is a part of your IBAN at the very end, but the IBAN itself is longer, as it contains additional data required for money transfers.
