Does my B.V. need a Dutch IBAN?

Not by law. Under the EU SEPA Regulation, euro payers must accept a payee account held anywhere in the EU, so an IBAN from another member state works for SEPA payments. Some Dutch customers and landlords still prefer an NL IBAN, which is a commercial choice rather than a legal one.
