A France IBAN starts with the country code FR, followed by 2 check digits and the national account number (BBAN), for a total of 27 characters. ValidateFin verifies the mod-97 checksum (ISO 13616), the length and the format - entirely in your browser, no data sent to any server.
- •The French BBAN is the historic RIB (Relevé d'Identité Bancaire): a 5-digit bank code, a 5-digit branch code (code guichet), an 11-character account number and a 2-digit RIB key.
- •The final 2 digits are the RIB key (clé RIB), a mod-97 check computed over the rest of the BBAN — an extra safety net on top of the IBAN check digits.
- •French account numbers can contain letters (e.g. the 3M in our example), which are converted to digits before the checksum is computed.
