What does IBANforge validate?

IBANforge validates IBAN structure (ISO 13616 mod-97 check digits + country-specific BBAN), resolves the associated BIC/SWIFT against 121,197 GLEIF entries, looks up Swiss BC-Nummer / IID against 1,190 SIX BankMaster entries, classifies the issuer (bank, EMI, vIBAN provider, neobank), and flags SEPA Instant + VoP (Verification of Payee, EU 2024/886) reachability.

How much does IBANforge cost?

Does IBANforge support MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

Yes. IBANforge ships an official MCP server (com.ibanforge/mcp) with 5 tools: validate_iban, batch_validate_iban, lookup_bic, lookup_ch_clearing, check_compliance. Install in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline or any MCP-compatible client via npx or streamable-HTTP at https://api.ibanforge.com/mcp.

Does IBANforge support x402 for autonomous AI agents?

Yes. Every paid endpoint accepts x402 micropayments in USDC on Base L2. Agents discover pricing via /.well-known/x402, pay autonomously and call the API without human onboarding. Listed on Coinbase Bazaar discovery.

How many countries does IBANforge cover?

All 84 countries with a standardized IBAN format, including the full SEPA zone, the UK, Switzerland, and most of MENA and Latin America with IBAN coverage.

What is vIBAN detection and why does it matter?

A virtual IBAN (vIBAN) is an IBAN issued by an EMI or fintech (e.g., Wise, Revolut, Mercury, Modulr) that maps to an underlying account at a partner bank. Detecting vIBANs matters for compliance: VoP often fails on vIBANs and EMI exposure changes the risk profile. IBANforge classifies 30+ known issuer prefixes.

Where does the BIC and Swiss clearing data come from?

BIC/SWIFT data: 121,197 entries from GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation), enriched with LEI codes. Swiss data: 1,190 BC-Nummern from the official SIX BankMaster CSV — the canonical source used by the Swiss banking industry.

Does IBANforge replace a regulated AML/sanctions screening provider?

No. The /v1/iban/compliance endpoint runs OFAC/EU/UN list checks and produces a risk score (0-100) — useful for triage and pre-flight screening. For regulated AML/CFT obligations use a regulated vendor like Refinitiv World-Check, Acuris or ComplyAdvantage.

How fast is IBANforge?

p99 latency under 50ms for /v1/iban/validate (single IBAN). All databases are SQLite WAL with in-process reads — no external lookups. Batch endpoint scales linearly to 100 IBANs per request.

Is IBANforge open-source?

The MCP server (ibanforge-mcp), the SDK (@ibanforge/sdk) and the OpenAPI spec are open-source on GitHub at github.com/cammac-creator/ibanforge. The hosted API and proprietary issuer classification dataset are commercial.
