IBAN Generator

Generates fictional IBANs by country with valid format and checksum for testing.

Reviewed practical guide

How to use Generate fictional IBANs for testing and verify the result

Uses the locally available country registry and calculates a syntactically valid IBAN with valid check digits.

Choose the country structure and length required by the test and keep the output exclusively in test fixtures.

Practical example: Test input masks, whitespace normalisation and MOD 97 validation in a financial form. Post-process verification is part of the workflow: a successful download alone does not prove that the content is correct.

What result to expect

A formatted IBAN that passes syntax and checksum checks but does not prove that an account exists.

When this is useful

  • Test input masks, whitespace normalisation and MOD 97 validation in a financial form.
  • Check a test case before incorporating it into a workflow.
  • Repeat the process with different settings and compare both results.

Checks before sharing

  • Also test short values, bad checksums and unsupported countries, and always label the output as fictional.
  • Check that the input contains no sensitive information and that the selected units or format are correct.
  • Keep the input alongside the result whenever the calculation needs to be reproducible or auditable.

Limitations to understand

  • A valid checksum verifies no holder, bank, account, balance or ability to pay, and the value must not be used for transfers or real registrations.
  • The result depends entirely on the quality and context of the entered data; interpret it only for its stated purpose.
  • The tool automates one specific operation; review the result whenever it will support a decision, publication or delivery.
