IBAN Lite

Introduction
The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an internationally recognized standard for identifying bank accounts across borders. It was developed to facilitate and streamline international transactions, making them more secure and efficient.
What is IBAN(International Bank Account Number)
An IBAN is a unique identifier assigned to a bank account to make it easily recognizable, not only within a specific country but also globally. It helps prevent errors and confusion when processing cross-border payments and ensures that funds are transferred to the 
correct recipient.
Structure of IBAN
The IBAN format can vary slightly from one country to another, but it typically consists of the following components:
Country Code (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2): The IBAN begins with a two-letter country code, which represents the country where the bank account is held.
Check Digits: Next are two check digits, used to validate the IBAN's accuracy during the transaction process.
Bank Identifier: This part varies by country and can include the bank's code, branch code, and other identifiers, as needed.
Account Number: The IBAN concludes with the account number, which is the unique portion identifying the specific bank account.
Is IBAN only for Euros transfer?
No, the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is not exclusively for Euro transfers. While IBANs are commonly associated with Eurozone countries and European transactions due to the European Union's adoption of IBAN as a standard, they are used worldwide for international money transfers in various currencies.
The IBAN system was originally developed by the European Committee for Banking Standards (ECBS) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to simplify and standardize cross-border payments within Europe. However, many non-European countries and financial institutions have also adopted IBANs to facilitate international transactions and improve their accuracy.
IBANs are used to identify bank accounts and ensure the correct routing of funds in a standardized format, regardless of the currency involved. So, whether you are sending money in Euros, US Dollars, British Pounds, or any other currency, IBAN can be used to ensure the secure and efficient transfer of funds. The currency conversion, if necessary, is typically handled by the banks or payment service providers involved in the transaction.
