How many countries does IBANforge cover?

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: 121,000+ entries from public sources — GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation, ~38K rows with LEI enrichment), the SWIFT directory, the Deutsche Bundesbank, SIX, the NBP, and EBA Clearing STEP2 SCT. Swiss data: ~1,200 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.
