International Direct Deposit (IDD) data is retained on the MBR in the same fields that are used to retain U.S. direct deposit information. However, the Social Security Administration (SSA) creates a pseudo routing/transit number (RTN) for IDD by adding a two-digit prefix to the foreign bank/branch number. For some countries, part or all of the bank/branch number must be included in the Depositor Account Number (DAN). For countries included in multi-country contracts, the two-digit prefix identifies the processor bank, and the first character of the DAN is a letter that identifies the country. The exception is Greece, which is under a multi-country contract but has a separate two-digit prefix.
It is absolutely crucial to add this information: use the correct RTN prefix code; include the foreign bank information in the RTN and DAN fields; andinclude the country letter for any country included in a multi-country contract, when this is shown in the chart at GN 02402.220B.2. in this section.
The two-digit IDD RTN prefix is different for each country or contractor bank. The first digit of the prefix is always a “5,” “6,” or “7,” which identifies the payment method as IDD.
The two-position RTN prefix codes currently in use are as follows:
Canada – Canadian dollar accounts.
(See 62 for U.S. dollar accounts.)
Canada – U.S. dollar accounts.
(See “51” for Canadian dollar accounts.)

Citibank Multi-country Contract
Bank of Scotland Multi-country Contract
The following table lists the multi-country codes currently in use. These countries, included under multi-country contracts, are identified by a combination of the two-digit prefix and the first character of the DAN.

All rejects relating to direct deposit actions transmitted through ITS.gov are routed to Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Edits relating to IDD actions transmitted by a Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) are sent to the Office of International Operations (OIO). If the FBU has access to IWS-LAN, the edits are routed to the transmitting office. Edits relating to IDD actions transmitted by a field office (FO) are sent to that office.
The following chart provides all IDD countries in alphabetical order, with the appropriate enrollment form suffix number, and the Program Operations Manual System (POMS) reference that provides the enrollment form and coding instructions::
