CLABE Validator

JavaScript library to analyze or create a CLABE number for a Mexican bank account

Clave Bancaria Estandarizada (Spanish for "standardized banking cipher") is a banking standard from the Mexican Bank Association (Asociación de Bancos de México – ABM) for uniform numbering of bank accounts.

In a Node.js project:

$ npm install clabe-validator

const clabe = require('clabe-validator');

C) Validator usage

Pass the CLABE number as an 18-character string into clabe.validate(clabeNum).

var clabeNum = '002010077777777771';
var clabeCheck = clabe.validate(clabeNum);
console.log(clabeCheck.error ? '¡Muy mal!' : '¡Que bueno!');

2. Example JSON result for a valid CLABE number

{
   error: false,
   bank:  'Banco Nacional de México',
   city:  'Aguascalientes'
}
