`validate_iban`

Pack: openiban · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/validate_iban for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Validate an IBAN: check its checksum and (where supported) its bank code, and resolve the bank name, BIC, and city. Returns whether the IBAN is structurally valid plus bank details when available. Best coverage for EU/DACH banks (DE, NL, BE, CH, AT, LU); for other countries the checksum is still validated but bank details may be empty. IBANs with spaces are accepted (e.g. “DE89 3704 0044 0532 0130 00”).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`iban`	string	yes	The IBAN to validate, e.g. “DE89370400440532013000”. Spaces are allowed.
