According to ChatGPT, China does not use IBAN codes in their bank account numbers.

Can you support validating Chinese bank account numbers?

NiKiZe commented 7 months ago

A IBAN number always has a countrycode. If you want to validate national bank accounts you need some other library.

skwasjer commented 7 months ago

@petre-c This library is specifically designed to validate IBAN's (as @NiKiZe also points out) according to the ISO13616 standard. So I am afraid we cannot help you out until maybe one day when China decides to adopt IBAN.
