What it takes to call the API from your own code
APIVerve or IBAN.com?
IBAN.com sells bank data, and it shows.
Use APIVerve if
- You need to know whether an IBAN is valid, and why not
- You want the correct check digits suggested for a typo
- You'd rather pay monthly than buy an annual licence
Use IBAN.com if
- You need the bank, branch or BIC from an IBAN alone
- You need to know if a bank takes SEPA transfers and direct debits
Read the full verdict
Send it an IBAN and, once the checks pass, it tells you which bank and branch it belongs to, the BIC, the address, and whether that bank can receive SEPA credit transfers and direct debits. If your payment flow needs the beneficiary bank's name or BIC filled in from the IBAN alone, APIVerve doesn't do that, and IBAN.com is the better fit. Many forms only need to know whether the IBAN is right and, if not, why, before the customer presses submit.
That is the job APIVerve's IBAN Validator does: every check comes back as its own pass or fail with a reason in plain words, a typo gets the check digits it should have had, and paid plans split out the bank code, branch code and account number. You can start on a free plan and pay monthly, instead of an annual licence priced by lookup count. Use IBAN.com when you need the bank directory; use APIVerve when you need the validation in your code today.
