LookupIban service

You use the LookupIBAN service to find the IBAN and BIC details for a domestic account. You can look up the IBAN and BIC for all countries that are supported by Bank Wizard, where the country supports the IBAN. When you call this service, Bank Wizard validates the account details, forms the IBAN from the valid details and then looks up the associated BIC.

For Netherlands accounts, if you have the correct licence and role, you can perform a Netherlands account lookup. This retrieves the IBAN and BIC for accounts that exist and have been used. To perform this type of lookup, you only need to supply the 10 digit account number.

If you supply the Bank Code as well as the account number, Bank Wizard performs a standard lookup. That is Bank Wizard validates the account details, forms the IBAN from the valid details and then looks up the associated BIC.

To look up an IBAN and BIC, you must supply:

the country code for the account details you are looking up
BBAN - between 1 and 4 fields containing the domestic account details.

This service returns:

BBAN - between 1 and 4 fields containing the domestic account details converted to standard format
IBAN - the IBAN formed by Bank Wizard, or, retrieved from the Netherlands account lookup data
Routing BIC - the BIC returned from the Bank Wizard data, or retrieved from the Netherlands account lookup data. If no BIC is available, this will be blank, but the result will still be returned as a match
Result - the overall result of the lookup, which can be one of the following:
- Match - the account details were valid and an IBAN could be formed, or for the Netherlands, Bank Wizard finds the account within the data
- Check Match - the input details were valid and a match was found, however the data returned may not be valid due to ambiguities with the data
- No Match - returned when Bank Wizard cannot validate the domestic account details and therefore cannot form the IBAN and BIC, or, for the Netherlands lookup only, when Bank Wizard cannot find a match for the account number
- Not supported - returned for countries that do not support the IBAN.
