Peter Shawe commented on VALIDATOR-330:
---------------------------------------
My understanding is that any implementation that doesn't follow the relevant
ISO standards (covered in the linked IBAN_Registry.pdf above) should be
considered invalid. SWIFT maintain the registry and as such they are the
official "gatekeepers" of standards compliance.
> IbanCheckDigit.isValid() returns True for some invalid IBANs

> Key: VALIDATOR-330
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-330
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Routines
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Release
> Reporter: Peter Shawe
> Assignee: Sebb
>
> For example, isValid() returns True for both of these IBANs;
> "IE01AIBK93118702569045" and "IE98AIBK93118702569045". The "IE98" version is
> the correct one (confirmed with online checkers, which also fail the "IE01"
> version).
> calculate() correctly returns "98". As a workaround I'm calling calculate()
> and comparing the result with the checksum in the original IBAN.
