isSepaCountry

isSepaCountry helps to check the first two digits of an IBAN. These two digits are referring to the country where the account was created, so they only can correspond to one of the countries in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) area.

A document with a full list of the SEPA countries, its corresponding IBAN structures and more is available at the Swift website as IBAN Registry.

Usage

/* MySQL */
SELECT isSepaCountry( 'ES' ); /* Returns 1 */
SELECT isSepaCountry( 'CN' ); /* Returns 0 */

/* JavaScript */
var isSEPA = isSepaCountry( 'ES' ); /* isSEPA = 1 */
var isSEPA = isSepaCountry( 'CN' ); /* isSEPA = 0 */

/* PHP */
$isSEPA = isSepaCountry( 'ES' ); /* $isSEPA = 1 */
$isSEPA = isSepaCountry( 'CN' ); /* $isSEPA = 0 */

Return values

• 1 - If specified country is part of the SEPA.
• 0 - Otherwise.

Dependencies
