lino_xl.lib.sepa.utils¶

This defines two functions which convert a Belgian National Bank Account Number (NBAN) into an (IBAN, BIC) pair.

There are two ways to implement this:

using a hard-coded mapping of Belgian bank numbers to their BIC code: belgian_nban_to_iban_bic()
using an online service : belgian_nban_to_iban_bic_soap()

Usage examples:

>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic('340-1549215-66')
('BE07340154921566', 'BBRUBEBB')
>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic('001-6012719-56')
('BE20001601271956', 'GEBABEBB')
>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic('063-4975581-01')
('BE43063497558101', 'GKCCBEBB')

Here is an invalid Belgian NBAN:

>>> belgian_nban_to_iban_bic("001-1148294-83")  
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValidationError: [u'Belgian NBAN ends with 83 (expected 84)!']

This is also used by lino_xl.lib.sepa.

lino_xl.lib.sepa.utils.be2iban(nban)¶

Convert Belgian NBAN to an IBAN.

Usage examples:

>>> be2iban("001-1148294-84")
'BE03001114829484'

lino_xl.lib.sepa.utils.iban2bic(iban)¶

Return the BIC corresponding to the given Belgian NBAN.

This is based on a hard-coded mapping.

Usage examples:

>>> iban2bic('BE03001114829484')
'GEBABEBB'

lino_xl.lib.sepa.utils.belgian_nban_to_iban_bic(s)¶: Convert a Belgian National Bank Account Number (NBAN) into an IBAN, BIC pair.

lino_xl.lib.sepa.utils.belgian_nban_to_iban_bic_soap(s)¶

Convert a Belgian National Bank Account Number (NBAN) into an IBAN, BIC pair.

This method uses the free public SOAP service available at ibanbic.be and thus requires Internet access, is slower, but has the advantage of being more reliable because maintained by an expert.
