🏦 IBAN Bank Codes & ISO Country Codes Scraper

🚀 Export validated IBAN structures, SEPA membership, and ISO 3166 country codes in seconds. Pull per-country IBAN length, example, validation flags, alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes for 250+ territories in one run. No API key, no registration.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-23 · 📊 11 fields per record · 🏦 250+ countries · 💳 SEPA + IBAN structure · 🔁 3 modes

The IBAN Bank Codes Scraper queries the public IBAN.com reference, the canonical online directory for IBAN format rules and SEPA membership status. It returns up to 11 structured fields per record, including country name, alpha-2 code, alpha-3 code, numeric code, SEPA membership flag, IBAN length, IBAN example, account-check flag, branch-check flag, mode used, and the scrape timestamp. The underlying directory is widely cited by payment processors, AML/KYC vendors, and accounting software.

The catalog spans all IBAN-issuing countries, SEPA member states and partial members, plus the full ISO 3166-1 country list (250+ territories). This Actor returns IBAN structure, SEPA-only members, or ISO country codes in one run, downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Fintech engineers, payment platforms, AML/KYC vendors, accounting and ERP teams, treasury, international remittance, compliance officers	IBAN format validation, SEPA-route detection, KYC country lookups, ISO code reference tables, payment-system onboarding, regulatory reporting

📋 What the IBAN Bank Codes Scraper does

Three lookup workflows in a single run:

• 🏦 IBAN structure mode. Per-country IBAN length, example IBAN, SEPA flag, and validation rules (account-check, branch-check).
• 💳 SEPA-only mode. Partial-member countries that are inside SEPA but do not issue IBANs in the standard structure table.
• 🌐 ISO 3166-1 country codes mode. Full country list with alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes.
• 🎯 Country filter. Optional alpha-2 list to restrict the output to a subset.

Each record bundles the country name, country codes, SEPA flag, IBAN length and example, validation flags, the mode used, and the scrape timestamp.

💡 Why it matters: wrong IBAN structure rules cause rejected payments, failed reconciliation, and regulatory headaches. Maintaining your own table means tracking SEPA membership changes, partial members, and the four annual IBAN registry revisions. This Actor refreshes on every run.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Pick a mode (ibanStructure, sepa, or countryCodes), optionally pass a country filter, click Start, and the Actor reads the public IBAN.com reference and emits one clean structured record per country.

📏 How accurate is the data?

The source mirrors the official ISO IBAN registry and ISO 3166-1 country list. SEPA membership reflects the European Payments Council member roster. For mission-critical payment authorization, cross-check with the ISO Registration Authority.

🔁 How often is the dataset refreshed?

The IBAN registry is revised quarterly. SEPA membership changes are rare. Every run of this Actor pulls the live page, so any change flows through automatically.

🌐 How many countries are covered?

Around 80 IBAN-issuing countries in the structure table, plus the full ISO 3166-1 country list (more than 250 territories) in the country-codes mode.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval. A monthly cron keeps your country and SEPA reference tables fresh.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

ISO 3166 country codes and IBAN structure rules are open standards. Commercial use is permitted; check the source pages for any attribution preferences.

💼 Can I use this data commercially?

Yes. ISO country codes are public, and IBAN format rules are published as open standards. You are responsible for any downstream compliance with payment regulations specific to your industry.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and unlocks scheduling, higher concurrency, and full-catalog pulls.

🌍 Does it cover non-IBAN countries (US, Canada, Australia)?

Yes for ISO country codes (all 250+ territories). The IBAN structure table only includes countries that officially issue IBANs, so the US, Canada, and Australia appear only in the country-codes mode.
