A U.S. Bank Number, also referred to as a bank account number, is a critical piece of personal financial information that requires strict protection to safeguard against unauthorized access and misuse. This unique identifier is assigned to individuals' bank accounts and serves as a key element in conducting various financial transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and payments. Individuals with malicious intent may exploit compromised bank account numbers to gain unauthorized access to funds, make fraudulent transactions, or obtain sensitive financial information. This unauthorized access can lead to significant financial harm for the account holder, as well as reputational damage and legal complications. Therefore, protecting U.S. Bank Numbers is essential to safeguard individuals' financial privacy and security.

You can find more information on U.S. Bank Numbers here.

I will detect a number in the format 000000000000, a standard 12 digit account number.

I'll use 234122004695 as a test number since a valid bank account cannot be used for privacy reasons.
