Input account number
To determine the original country, the function analyzes the first two characters. For example, if the first two characters are SE, the output will be a Swedish bank account number.
As the function only analyzes the first two characters, it is not required to have a bank account number as a input. See the first example.
Logic of the function
|
If the input is... |
Then... |
|---|---|
| a valid IBAN number | the function generates an IBAN number from the same country as the input value. |
| a valid US account number | the function keeps the first nine digits and randomly masks the other digits. |
| not a valid account number | the function generates a French IBAN number. |
Output account number

For some countries, the national check digits are also conform to the country. To know which national check digits are handled, see this list.
National check digits from other countries are not handled.

Here are two examples:
| Input value | Example of a masked value |
