# Banks in Israel

Building with an AI agent? Start at https://docs.payme.io/agents.md

Use these codes as `seller_bank_code` on [Create a seller](/payments/merchants-management/post-create-seller) and [Update a seller](/payments/merchants-management/post-update-seller). The same list is returned by [`GET /banks/IL`](/payments/query-apis/get-banks-country-iso-code) as `code`, `local_name` and `international_name`. A code that isn't in the list returns error `106`.

## Validation

PayMe checks the branch (`seller_bank_branch`) and account number (`seller_bank_account_number`) before it saves them. A value that fails returns error `165`.

- The branch has at most 3 digits and can't be `0`.
- The account number has digits only and can't be `0`.
- Maximum account number length: 6 digits for banks `4`, `12`, `20` and `46`; 8 digits for `10`, `13` and `34`; 9 digits for `1`, `9`, `11`, `14`, `17`, `22`, `31` and `52`.
- For banks `4`, `9`, `10`, `11`, `12`, `13`, `14`, `17`, `20`, `22`, `31`, `34`, `46` and `52`, the branch and account number must also pass the bank's check-digit rule.

In the sandbox, use bank `54` (Bank of Jerusalem) with any 3-digit branch and any 6-digit account number. Bank `54` has no check-digit rule.
