Tool to check BBAN numbers. The BBAN (Basic Bank Account Number) checksum algorithm allows to check if a full bank account BBAN number is correct.

## Answers to Questions

### What is a BBAN?

A BBAN (Basic Bank Account Number) is composed of 10 to 30 characters, depending on countries, corresponding to the bank codes (including the account number) and a checksum key.

Example: In France a BBAN/RIB has 23 characters: bank code (5 digits) + counter code (5 digits) + account number (11 digits and / or letters) + RIB key (2 digits between 01 and 97).

### How to verify an BBAN number? (Validity check)

The algorithm checks the BBAN key via a modulo 97:

Example: The bank number is: 12345 12345 0123456789AZ 03

Step 1: Remove the key BBAN code.

Example: The key is composed of the last 2 digits: 03. The rest of the calculation is done with 12345 12345 0123456789AZ 00.

Step 2: replace any letters by figures in the table

 A, J 1 B, K, S 2 C, L, T 3 D, M, U 4 E, N, V 5 F, O, W 6 G, P, X 7 H, Q, Y 8 I, R, Z 9

Example: A=1 and Z=9, the BBAN becomes 123451234501234567891900

Step 3: Calculate the value of the result modulo 97, then subtract the result to 97.

Example: $$123451234501234567891900 \mod 97 \equiv 94$$ and $$97 - 94 = 3$$

The checksum key is therefore 03 (the key removed previously), the BBAN is valid.

To make this modulo calculation, use a calculator that accepts calculation with large numbers (arbitrary precision) as proposed on dCode.

### Why the modulo 97?

Why 97? Because it is a prime number (the largest with 2 digits) that will allow to minimize the errors.
