How this service works
Validate a European IBAN and enrich it with bank, compliance and routing data. Use whenever the user mentions an IBAN, a bank account, a SEPA payment or asks who the bank is. Returns: valid, country, BIC/SWIFT, bank name, EMI/vIBAN flag, SEPA + VoP reachability, risk score, Swiss bc_nummer for CH/LI. Production · server processing <5ms (network excluded — measure your own round trip on GET /ping) · 121,000+ BICs (39,000+ LEI via GLEIF) + 1,100+ SIX · v1.5.0.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: valid (boolean), country code, BIC/SWIFT, bank name, EMI/vIBAN flag, SEPA reachability, VoP reachability, risk score, and for Swiss accounts the BC-Nummer. Derived from a database of 121,000+ BICs including 39,000+ LEIs via GLEIF and 1,100+ SIX records.
Example use cases
Pre-payment IBAN verification for finance team
“Before we send this SEPA transfer, can you validate the IBAN NL91ABNA0417164300, confirm it's SEPA-reachable, and tell me the bank name and BIC?”
Detecting virtual or EMI accounts
“I received a payment from GB33BUKB20201555555555 — can you check if it's a real bank account or a virtual IBAN issued by an EMI, and give me the risk score?”
Onboarding KYC bank account check
“We're onboarding a new vendor and they gave us IBAN FR7630006000011234567890189 — can you verify it's valid, tell me the bank, and flag any compliance concerns?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.ibanforge.com/v1/iban/validate?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to validate a single IBAN quickly in real time before a SEPA payment, during KYC/onboarding, or to identify the underlying bank and assess risk. Prefer the batch endpoint for 100+ IBANs at once (2.5x cheaper per call). Prefer the compliance triage endpoint when you need full sanctions screening rather than a risk score only.
Side effects
- Invalid IBAN format returns valid: false with format error detail
- Unknown BIC may return null bank name if not in database
- Network latency varies (server processing <5ms but round-trip is user-dependent)
- Sanctions/compliance data may lag real-time updates
- Non-European or unsupported IBAN country codes may return partial data
