IBAN Code Lookup API

The IBAN Code Lookup API is a tool that enables users to verify the validity of International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) by looking up the associated bank and branch details. This API can help prevent fraudulent activities and reduce errors in cross-border transactions. It is commonly used by financial institutions, payment processors, and e-commerce platforms.

About the API: 

The IBAN Code Lookup API is a powerful tool for financial institutions, payment processors, and e-commerce platforms that require a quick and reliable way to validate International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) before processing cross-border transactions. IBANs are standardized codes used to identify bank accounts across national borders, and they are essential for international transactions to ensure that the funds are credited to the correct account.

This API provides a simple and efficient way to validate IBAN codes by looking up the associated bank and branch details. It utilizes a vast database of bank information to retrieve the correct bank name, address, and other details, ensuring that transactions are processed accurately and efficiently.

The IBAN Code Lookup API is designed to be easy to use, with simple API calls that can be integrated seamlessly into existing systems. Developers can access the API using a range of programming languages, including Java, Python, and JavaScript, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.

One of the most significant advantages of the IBAN Code Lookup API is its ability to prevent fraudulent activities. Fraudsters often use fake IBANs to deceive individuals or organizations into transferring funds to the wrong account. By using this API to verify the authenticity of the IBAN, financial institutions and payment processors can reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions and protect their customers' funds.

Another benefit of the IBAN Code Lookup API is its ability to reduce errors in cross-border transactions. Errors in IBANs can lead to delayed or failed transactions, resulting in frustration and financial losses. By validating the IBAN before processing the transaction, this API can help ensure that transactions are processed accurately and efficiently, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

In summary, the IBAN Code Lookup API is an essential tool for financial institutions, payment processors, and e-commerce platforms that deal with international transactions. By providing a quick and reliable way to validate IBANs, it helps prevent fraudulent activities, reduce errors, and ensure that transactions are processed accurately and efficiently. Its ease of use and compatibility with multiple programming languages make it a valuable solution for a wide range of applications.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
