Mask bank code and account number and keep original country
This function masks IBAN and US bank account numbers. It keeps the original country. As the output depends on different criteria, it may not be a valid bank account number.
This function applies on String values.
Two methods are available: FF1 with AES and FF1 with SHA-2. This function requires no alphabet and no extra parameter.
- Black: Country code
- Coral: Check digits
- Light blue: Bank/branch code
- Dark blue: Account number
- Gray: National check digits. Their position in the IBAN number
depends on the country.
Some countries do not use national check digits.
Input account number
- The format is conform to the country code,
- The check digits are valid and
- The national check digits are valid. This applies to some bank account numbers, see the list. National check digits from other countries are not handled.
Logic of the function
| If the input is... | Then... | |
|---|---|---|
| a valid IBAN number | the function masks it by an IBAN number from the same country. | |
| a valid US account number | the function masks all digits. | |
| Neither a valid IBAN nor US account number and there is: | No "Invalid" output flow | the function returns null in the main flow. |
| An "Invalid" output flow | the input data are sent to the "Invalid" output flow. | |
Output account number
- The format is conform to the country code,
- The check digits are valid and
- The national check digits are valid. This applies to some bank account numbers, see the list. National check digits from other countries are not handled.
As the bank/branch code is randomly generated, it may not be valid.
To verify whether the format of an IBAN number is valid or not, you can refer to this IBAN registry.
In the following example, the Keep format check box is selected to preserve the space from the input value.

Important: For some countries, as the function behavior has been updated from the 7.3 R2020-11 monthly version, you can only unmask bank account numbers masked from this monthly version. See the list of the impacted countries.
