FROM IBAN TO USEFUL INFORMATION

Your IBAN goes in.
The data takes shape.

IBANforge is the lens that reveals the format, bank and BIC.

01 · YOUR IBAN

A number to illuminate.

No sign-up required. The IBAN is sent to the service when you run a check.

One incoming stream. Three distinct pieces of information.

Run a check: the rays lead to the resulting data.

This result confirms neither account existence, nor account ownership, nor payment success. Enrichment depends on available sources.

14 November 2026: Switzerland stops processing unstructured addresses

  • From 14 November 2026, payment orders covered by the Swiss Payment Standards must meet the applicable address requirements when an address is used.
  • The EPC postponed its 15 November deadline on 9 September 2026; a new date is due to be set in October.
  • Swift also postponed its deadline on 27 August 2026. The Swiss timetable remains separately published by SIX.

POST /v1/address/check says for free whether an address passes the Swiss, HVPS+ or Fedwire rules, naming the document; the file audit takes a whole workbook.
