# Ibandit Ibandit is a Ruby library for manipulating and validating [IBANs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number). It allows you to: 1. Create an IBAN from national banking details 2. Deconstruct an IBAN into national banking details 3. Validate an IBAN's check digits and structure Ibandit also provides helper methods for validating some countries' local account details. The gem is kept up to date using the IBAN structure file from SWIFT. ## Usage ### Installation You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the gem. If you just want to use it, you should run: ```ruby gem install ibandit ``` ### Creating IBANs All functionality is based around `IBAN` objects. To create one, simply pass a string to `Ibandit::IBAN.new`. Note that you don't need to worry about case and whitespace: ```ruby iban = Ibandit::IBAN.new("xq75 B a dCode 666") iban.to_s # => "XQ75BADCODE666" iban.to_s(:formatted) # => "XQ75 BADC ODE6 66" ``` ### Validating an IBAN IBANs are validated based on their structure and check-digits: ```ruby iban = Ibandit::IBAN.new("XQ75 BADCODE 666") iban.valid? # => false ``` After validations, you can fetch details of any errors: ```ruby iban.errors # => { country_code: "'XQ' is not a valid..." } ``` The following error keys may be set: - `country_code` - `check_digits` - `characters` - `length` - `format` ### Deconstructing an IBAN into national banking details SWIFT define the following components for IBANs, and publish details of how each county combines them: `country_code` : The [ISO 3166-1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements) country code prefix `check_digits` : Two digits calculated using part of the ISO/IEC 7064:2003 standard `bank_code` : The SWIFT identifier for the bank to which the IBAN refers `branch_code` : The SWIFT identifer for the branch to which the IBAN refers (not used in all countries) `account_number` : The account number for the account `iban_national_id` : The national ID for the bank / branch as documented by SWIFT The SWIFT IBAN components are all available as methods on an `IBAN` object: ```ruby iban = Ibandit::IBAN.new("GB82 WEST 1234 5698 7654 32") iban.country_code # => "GB" iban.check_digits # => "82" iban.bank_code # => "WEST" iban.branch_code # => "123456" iban.account_number # => "98765432" iban.iban_national_id # => "WEST123456" ``` In addition, it is often useful to extract any local check digits from the IBAN. These are available through a `local_check_digits` method: ```ruby iban = Ibandit::IBAN.new("ES12 1234 5678 9112 3456 7890") iban.local_check_digits # => "91" ``` ### Initializing Ibandit The UK and Ireland both use part of the BIC as the `bank_code` in their IBANs. If you wish to construct UK or Irish IBANs you will either need to pass the `bank_code` explicitly, or configure Ibandit with a BIC finder: ```ruby # config/initializers/ibandit.rb Ibandit.bic_finder = -> (country_code, national_id) do # This assumes you have `BankDirectoryPlus` set up to access the data provided # by SWIFTRef in their Bank Directory Plus product. The `national_id` is the # local national ID, not the "IBAN National ID" referred to in the IBAN Plus # file (since that is the `bank_code` and the `branch_code`). BankDirectoryPlus.find_by(country_code: country_code, national_id: national_id). try(:bic) end ``` ### Creating an IBAN from national banking details In many countries customers are familiar with national details rather than their IBAN. For example, in the UK customers use their Account Number and Sort Code. To build an IBAN from local details: ```ruby # Austria iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'AT', account_number: '234573201', bank_code: '19043' ) iban.iban # => "AT611904300234573201" # Belgium iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'BE', account_number: '510-0075470-61' ) iban.iban # => "BE62510007547061" # Cyprus iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'CY', account_number: '1200527600', bank_code: '002', branch_code: '00128' ) iban.iban # => "CY17002001280000001200527600" # Germany iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'DE', bank_code: '37040044', account_number: '0532013000' ) iban.iban # => "DE89370400440532013000" # Estonia iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'EE', account_number: '111020145685' ) iban.iban # => "EE412200111020145685" # Finland iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'FI', bank_code: '123456' account_number: '785' ) iban.iban # => "FI2112345600000785" # France iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'FR', bank_code: '20041', branch_code: '01005', account_number: '0500013M02606', ) iban.iban # => "FR1420041010050500013M02606" # United Kingdom iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'GB', bank_code: 'BARC', # optional if a BIC finder is configured branch_code: '200000', account_number: '55779911' ) iban.iban # => "GB60BARC20000055779911" # Ireland iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'IE', bank_code: 'AIBK', # optional if a BIC finder is configured branch_code: '931152', account_number: '12345678' ) iban.iban # => "IE29AIBK93115212345678" # Italy iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'IT', bank_code: '05428', branch_code: '11101', account_number: '000000123456' ) iban.iban # => "IT60X0542811101000000123456" # Latvia iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'LV', account_number: '1234567890123', bank_code: 'BANK' ) iban.iban # => "LV72BANK1234567890123" # Luxembourg iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'LU', account_number: '1234567890123', bank_code: 'BANK' ) iban.iban # => "LU75BANK1234567890123" # Monaco iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'MC', bank_code: '20041', branch_code: '01005', account_number: '0500013M026' ) iban.iban # => "MC9320041010050500013M02606" # The Netherlands iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'NL', account_number: '0417164300', bank_code: 'ABNA' ) iban.iban # => "NL91ABNA0417164300" # Portugal iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'PT', bank_code: '0002', branch_code: '0023', account_number: '0023843000578' ) iban.iban # => "PT50000200230023843000578" # Slovakia iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'SK', bank_code: '1200', account_number_prefix: '19', account_number: '8742637541' ) iban.iban # => "SK3112000000198742637541" # Slovenia iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'SI', bank_code: '19100', account_number: '1234' ) iban.iban # => "SI56191000000123438" # Spain iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'ES', bank_code: '2310', branch_code: '0001', account_number: '180000012345' ) iban.iban # => "ES8023100001180000012345" # Spain with 20 digit account number iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'ES', account_number: '23100001180000012345' ) iban.iban # => "ES8023100001180000012345" # San Marino iban = Ibandit::IBANBuilder.build( country_code: 'SM', bank_code: '05428', branch_code: '11101', account_number: '000000123456' ) iban.iban # => "SM88X0542811101000000123456" ``` Support for Greece and Malta is coming soon.
