Frequently asked questions
How do I use the IBAN — Generic International regex pattern in JavaScript?
Wrap the pattern in slashes: const re = /^[A-Z]{2}\d{2}[A-Z0-9]{11,30}$/; — then call re.test(value) to check a single value, or value.match(re) to find matches. The "Use it in" snippets above give you the exact code for 9 languages.
Is this iban — generic international regex production-ready?
Yes — every pattern in the library is tested against valid and invalid examples. Still, regex is one layer in a defense-in-depth strategy: pair it with server-side validation (e.g. Luhn for credit cards, mod-97 for IBAN, real DNS lookup for emails) for critical inputs.
Why does my pattern fail in another language?
Different regex engines (PCRE, Java, Python, Go's RE2) support slightly different syntax. The most common gotchas: lookbehinds (not in RE2), named groups syntax, and how backslashes need to be escaped inside string literals. The code snippets above already escape correctly for each language.
Can I edit this pattern and test it live?
Yes — use the live tester above. Type your test string and toggle flags (g, i, m, s, u, y) to see matches highlighted instantly, including capture groups.
