Hi,
I'm currently struggling with BIC validation (BicUtil.validate()) that throws me an error when validating BICs containing numeric values in the first four digits (bank code) of a BIC. I think the bank code can be alphanumeric as stated here:
SWIFT BIC Standard
The ISO 9362 standard is available from ISO at www.iso.org.
The BIC is an 8 character code, defined as ‘business party identifier’, consisting of the business party prefix (4 alphanumeric), the country code as defined in ISO 3166-1 (2 alphabetic), and the business party suffix (2 alphanumeric).
The branch identifier is a 3 character optional element that can supplement the 8 character BIC, used to identify specific locations, departments, services or units of the same business party.
Can you please check this? Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Norman
