What the API checks on a United Arab Emirates IBAN

• The length, the charset of every field and the mod-97 check digits.
• IBANforge holds no bank-code data it may reuse for this country: beyond the structure, the API cannot say whether the bank code exists, and answers that the code was not consulted.
• The country is outside SEPA: a SEPA transfer will not reach this account.
