n8n-nodes-ibanforge

IBAN validation, BIC/SWIFT lookup, Swiss clearing and compliance pre-checks inside your n8n workflows — backed by the IBANforge API and its 6 national bank registers (121k+ BIC entries, 89 IBAN countries).

Typical uses: verify supplier IBANs at onboarding, triage a payout list before the batch leaves, enrich a CRM record with the issuing bank, stop payments whose bank code the national register does not know.

Operations

Operation	What it does
Validate IBAN	Structure + checksum + issuing bank (BIC), bank-code check against the national register (not_in_register means the register allocates the code to nobody), EMI/vIBAN classification, SEPA + VoP reachability
Look up BIC	BIC/SWIFT → bank name, city, country, LEI
Look up Swiss clearing	BC-Nummer / IID → institution, seat address, SIC/euroSIC/instant rails, QR-IID semantics
Compliance check	Bank-level sanctions (OFAC + EU), FATF lists, SEPA/VoP, 0-100 risk score. Bank-level, not name screening

Honest limits

• The bank-code check tells you what the national register says about the code inside the IBAN — it never claims the account exists or matches a name (that is Verification of Payee, a regulated-PSP scheme).
• Sanctions screening is bank-level (BIC8), not name-level, and is not a regulated AML/CFT product.
