About

This API lets you quickly validate IBAN (International Bank Account Number) codes.
IBAN (International Bank Account Number) codes are used as unique identification numbers for bank accounts worldwide. IBAN codes make it easier to transfer money across borders, improve the accuracy of wire transfers, and enhance security while ensuring compliance with regulations. IBAN code validation is therefore an important tool for facilitating international money transfers in a safe, efficient, and compliant way.
Try out the API in the API playground and see how the free IBAN Validation API can help you validate IBAN through a simple API call.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
