About

The Bank Data API is a RESTful API that provides access to financial institution data, enabling developers to build applications that interact with banking systems. The API typically offers a range of endpoints for retrieving information such as:

- Bank routing numbers

- Branch locations

- Account information

- Transaction history

- Financial institution profiles

Developers can use this API to build fintech applications, payment processing systems, and other financial services that require access to banking data.

Bank Data API is a REST API that is able to check and validate IBAN and SWIFT numbers.

With this API you will be able to get IBAN examples and structure by country, required fields for generating IBANs, banks by country, and all major banks and SWIFT codes.
