Generated numbers are fictitious and only for testing software and forms. Using them to pass yourself off as someone, open accounts or register anything is illegal.

What it does


The IBAN (International Bank Account Number, ISO 13616) identifies a bank account in 89 countries. It starts with the country code and two check digits calculated with modulo 97, followed by the national account number (BBAN), whose length and format are fixed for each country. Some countries also have their own check digits inside the account number, and the validator checks them too.

Frequently asked questions


Does a valid number mean that the person or company exists?
No. It only means the check digits are correct, which catches typing mistakes. Whether the number was actually issued, and to whom, can only be checked with the authority that issues it.

What are the generated numbers for?
For testing: filling in forms in development, testing databases and validation code. They are made at random with correct check digits, so by chance one may coincide with a real number. Never use them to identify yourself, sign up for anything or deceive anyone.

How does a check digit work?
It is calculated from the other digits with a fixed formula, usually multiplying each digit by a weight and taking the remainder of a division (modulo 11, or modulo 23 for the Spanish DNI letter). If one digit is typed wrong or two are swapped, the check digit no longer matches.
