This file lists specific errors observed in the official IBAN specification.
In addition to the specific errors, there persist basic outstanding
matters that cause issue for implementers:
- Non 1:1 mapping of records to countries (eg: French territories, etc.)
- Mixing of free text and hard data in specification fields
- Lack of validation of information in fields prior to publishing
- Lack of synchronisation between TXT and PDF versions of the registry
2011-07-16
----------
- No information for Kuwait past sixth column
- Total absence of information regarding Kazakhstan
- '1.00001E+15' instead of a valid BBAN example for Lithuania
- Repeated IBAN example in human format instead of IBAN format-
specification for UAE
- Incorrect domestic example for Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mauritius, Romania, San Marino
(complete, human-format IBAN instead of domestic example)
Early 2012
----------
- Inconsistent record ordering (KW, KZ)
- Inconsistent capitalization (DK)
- Continued presence of incorrect domestic examples
February 2013
-------------
- Deployment of unparseable special values such as "Not in use" (FI).
- Still(!) missing a registry entry for 2010's 'new' entry of Khazakstan
September 2013
--------------
- Azerbaijan, Brazil, Costa Rica, Palestine, Virgin Islands 'SEPA
Country' field in PDF (yes/no) is completely blank
March 2014
----------
- In multiple cases, territories of a major country have a SEPA status
that differs from the parent jurisdiction. The IBAN specification as
previously released does not include individual records for these
territories, and thus cannot convey this important information.
- The IBAN registry's old URL is no longer publicly available! Its now
ends in a 404, and the apparent new home, located over at
http://www.swift.com/products_services/by_type/reference_data/iban_registry_iso13616
does not have any content. The parent portion of this part of the
SWIFT website suggests the information may have been moved to a new
'SWIFTRef' site, however that site appears to only peddle paid for
directories of BICs and similar. The new location after much
searching was found to be http://www.swift.com/products_services/bic_and_iban_format_registration_iban_format_r
June 2014
---------
- The TXT registry records of QA and JO do not match those within the
PDF and are essentially spurious while looking roughly correct. Dang.
