Check an IBAN
Before you transfer: check the account.
A classified ad, an invoice by email or a message from a supposedly new number: it often ends with an IBAN. We look up whether we hold approved fraud reports for this account.
Enter the IBAN
What a report means
A report is a statement by an affected person that we review. It is not a court ruling and not proof of a criminal offence.
A reported account does not have to belong to the perpetrators. Payments often run through the accounts of third parties who pass the money on.
We do not check or name who owns an account. Only the bank and the investigating authorities know that.
What happens to the IBAN
- Only the IBAN is sent to our server. We do not store it and do not link it to any profile.
- Three details come back: whether there are reports, how many and when the first came in. No account holder, no reporters.
- To stop anyone trying out numbers, lookups are limited to 30 per minute per internet connection.
