Does the BBAN format follow the format specified for this country?
Weekly updates ensure you have the most up-to-date UK payments information on the market. Furthermore routing information as specified by ISO 9362 does not contain check digits, so simple errors of transcription were not detectable and it was not possible for a sending bank to validate the routing information prior to submitting the payment. One of the design aims of the IBAN was to enable as much validation as possible to be done at the point of data entry. The IBAN was originally developed to facilitate payments within the European Union but the format is flexible enough to be applied globally and has now been adopted by many Middle Eastern countries as well as most European countries.
