Questions

How many characters does a Austria IBAN have?

20 characters: the country code AT, two check digits, and a 16-character national account number (BBAN).

Is Austria in SEPA?

Yes, Austria is in the Single Euro Payments Area, so euro transfers use SEPA credit transfers.

Does a valid checksum mean the account exists?

No. The mod-97 checksum catches typos; it does not confirm the account or its holder. In the Netherlands, your bank's name check (Verificatie van Betalingsontvanger) matches the holder.
