IBANforge is an API platform designed for validating International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs), resolving BIC/SWIFT codes, and assessing compliance risk, with a particular emphasis on Swiss banking data. It serves both developers and AI agents, providing access to exclusive Swiss SIX clearing data and extensive international banking records. The service covers 89 countries and over 121,000 BIC entries, drawing on sources such as GLEIF, the SWIFT directory, Bundesbank, SIX BankMaster, NBP, and EBA Step2.
Key features include ISO 13616 mod-97 IBAN validation with full BBAN parsing, BIC/SWIFT code lookup, and advanced Swiss clearing data, including every Swiss BC-Nummer, QR-IID, and payment-rail participation details (SIC, euroSIC, CHF instant payments). IBANforge also offers EMI and virtual IBAN issuer classification to detect non-bank issuers, providing compliance signals beyond standard checksum validation. Compliance risk scoring is supported, incorporating sanctions screening (OFAC, EU, UN, SECO), FATF data, SEPA and VoP reachability, and a 0-100 risk score. The API delivers responses with detailed information on bank, clearing, SEPA membership, and risk indicators.
The platform is accessible via REST API, with native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for integration with AI agents. It provides tools for both standard HTTP and stdio-based MCP agents, allowing for quick installation and use by AI-driven applications. The service offers a playground for testing, documentation for developers, and supports agent-initiated micropayments per call in USDC using the x402 protocol, alongside traditional prepaid credits and card payments. Privacy is emphasized, with IBANs never stored and telemetry data self-deleting after 30 days.
IBANforge operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, starting with a free tier of 200 requests per month without requiring a payment card. 003 for BIC/SWIFT lookups. The core of the service is open-source under the MIT license, and banking data is refreshed monthly to maintain accuracy.
