About
About BankCodeKit
BankCodeKit is a free collection of browser-local tools and guides for reviewing IBAN, BIC/SWIFT, and SEPA payment-code formats.
What BankCodeKit Is
BankCodeKit helps users check payment-code structure before they copy details into invoices, payment forms, development tests, or internal review workflows. The tools focus on readable formatting, country rules, expected lengths, and checksum-style validation where available.
BankCodeKit is not a bank, payment provider, payment service provider, or licensed account-confirmation service.
Who It Is For
The site is built for freelancers, developers, accountants, finance operations teams, and small businesses that need quick no-login checks while working with international payment details.
Local Browser Processing
User-entered IBANs, BICs, invoice details, CSV rows, and payment references are processed locally in the browser. The site does not send those values to BankCodeKit servers, analytics, advertising scripts, logs, browser storage, or URLs.
Maintained By
BankCodeKit is maintained by an independent site owner and software developer responsible for the browser-local validation tools, public source notes, documented examples, and site updates. The contact address is published on the Contact page for correction reports and general feedback.
The project is maintained as a software-development and reference-data review resource, not as a bank, payment provider, regulated financial service, licensed directory, or account confirmation service. If you spot an error, use the contact email and do not include IBANs, BICs, invoices, account numbers, or payment details.
BankCodeKit does not claim banking or financial credentials. Instead, the site publishes primary-source references, review dates, format limitations, and public validation test cases so readers can inspect how the local rules and examples are maintained.
Operating role and responsibility
The operator is not presented as a bank or payment-institution employee and does not claim a financial qualification. That boundary is why the site uses three checkable controls: primary-source disclosure, public expected-result tests, and visible review dates with a quarterly shared-reference review cadence.
| Role | Background stated on this site | Responsibility | Contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent site owner and software maintainer | Software development and public reference-data review; no banking or financial credential claim. | Maintain browser-local tools, cite rule sources, publish test evidence, record review dates, and correct documented errors. | Contact BankCodeKit without attaching real payment data. |
Review the primary-source disclosure, public validation test cases, and local-processing boundary before relying on a format explanation.
How Data and Examples Are Reviewed
The maintainer has a defined technical and editorial scope. Client-side validation logic, automated regression tests, public source review, and correction handling are maintained together with local rules, source notes, review dates, and documented test cases. Public test cases compare expected IBAN, BIC/SWIFT, and SEPA results with the same local validators used by the tools.
- Review public Swift IBAN and BIC/SWIFT reference pages and European Payments Council SEPA source material.
- Update local country length, BBAN summary, SEPA context, and source labels only when a country page has complete review notes.
- Run documented test cases for valid and invalid IBAN, BIC/SWIFT, and SEPA examples before publishing changes.
- Keep public country pages and the sitemap limited to countries with complete example data, source notes, and review dates.
Review notes and public examples are published on the validation test cases and data review log . They show format and reference behavior only; they are not live bank, account, owner, sanctions, or payment-network checks.
Shared reference data is reviewed quarterly and sooner when a cited authority publishes a relevant update. The next scheduled shared reference review is 2026-10-17.
Correction handling
Correction reports should identify the public page and the public source that appears to conflict with it, without including real payment details. BankCodeKit aims to acknowledge an actionable report within five business days. This is an acknowledgement target, not a guaranteed publication or resolution date.
- Review the report for a reproducible page, data, or test issue.
- Compare the claim with the relevant primary source and local validation tests.
- Correct affected copy, reference data, or client-side logic only after the result is verified.
- Record a material data change in the public review log and rerun affected automated tests.
Reports can be sent through the Contact page. Verification time varies with source availability and the scope of the required test review.
Format Checks Only
A valid result means the visible format passed the checks BankCodeKit supports. It does not confirm that an account exists, belongs to a recipient, can receive a transfer, or that a payment will succeed.
