Validate IFSC API

Hosted on ApyHub

What it does

The IFSC Code API checks whether an Indian bank IFSC code is valid and returns the branch it belongs to. Send an 11-character IFSC code, such as SBIN0000001, and get back the bank name, branch, address, city, state, phone number, and STD code. Codes are accepted in upper or lower case.

If the code doesn't exist or has been retired, the API returns false, so you can stop the flow before a payment or payout fails.

Use it to verify beneficiary bank details before saving them, show users the branch name as they type an IFSC code, or clean up bank records in payroll, lending, and payout systems. For international transfers, use the SWIFT/BIC Validation API, and to check Indian addresses, the Indian Postcode Validation API.

You can start on ApyHub's free tier with no card required.
