What is an IBAN Validator?

An IBAN validator is a tool designed to check the validity of International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs). It ensures that the structure and checksum of an IBAN are correct, which is crucial for international banking transactions.

How Does Our IBAN Validator Work?

Our IBAN validator performs several checks to ensure the validity of an IBAN:

  1. Structure Check: Verifies that the IBAN follows the correct structure for its country.
  2. Length Check: Ensures the IBAN has the correct length for its country.
  3. Character Check: Confirms that the IBAN contains only valid characters.
  4. Checksum Validation: Applies the MOD-97-10 algorithm to validate the IBAN's checksum.

If an IBAN passes all these checks, it is considered valid. However, a valid IBAN doesn't guarantee the existence of the account - it only confirms that the IBAN is well-formed.
