Bank Data
Bank Data validates IBANs and looks up SWIFT/BIC codes worldwide, and can also break an IBAN down into its country-specific structure or list every major bank and branch code for a given country. It's an APILayer marketplace product sharing that ecosystem's dashboard, `apikey`-header auth, and billing with siblings like Fixer and Tax Data, with a persistent free tier (100 requests/month, no card) below metered paid plans running up to 60,000 requests/month.
