## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability iban-validation-validate-b2cdf9e4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this IBAN is valid: GB29NWBK60161331926819?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to validate an IBAN before initiating an international wire transfer, processing a payment, or onboarding a user with banking details. Prefer this over manual regex checks as it performs full structural validation including country-specific rules and check digit verification.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'iban' field returns 400 error
- Malformed IBAN string returns invalid status with validation details
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns 5xx error
- Incorrectly formatted IBAN (wrong length or characters) returns valid=false
