IBAN Suite: Validation & Calculation

Overview

The International Bank Account Number or IBAN is used in international as well as domestic payments in Europe and the world. A fairly long string of numbers and digits, the IBAN is often a point of failure when manually entered by customers and operators alike.

A failed payment almost always causes extra delays and costs for your business.

By validating payment details at the point of entry, your business can effectively reduce failed transactions and streamline it's payment processes.
The IBAN Suite service is designed to optimize the processing of domestic and international payments for companies worldwide.

More than just error checking

Our IBAN Suite service performs multiple layers of validation ensuring the minimal chance of error in payment details.
More to that, it provides bank data vital to cross-boarder payments such as BIC, Bank and Branch details for payment routing and payment schema support such as SEPA ( SCT, SDD, Core ). To ensure data quality, our system uses bank data licensed by reliable sources such as national banks, financial institutions and issuing agencies.

How Validation Process Work?

To provide the best results, we work in steps. We will run a number of checks to ensure you have the most detailed result from the validation process.

1. Data cleansing

At this first step we remove all non-alphanumeric characters and report if we encounter invalid ones.

2. IBAN Check Digit

Integrity check on the IBAN using ISO 7604 (MOD 97-10) algorithm is performed at this step.

3. Account Number Check

A domestic bank account validation is performed based on the country specific validation algorithms.

We identify the issuing bank and country along with the BIC and SEPA payment schema support.
