Iban

2.3

The Iban constraint was introduced in Symfony 2.3.

This constraint is used to ensure that a bank account number has the proper format of an International Bank Account Number (IBAN). IBAN is an internationally agreed means of identifying bank accounts across national borders with a reduced risk of propagating transcription errors.

Applies to	property or method
Options	message
Class	Iban
Validator	IbanValidator

Basic Usage

To use the Iban validator, simply apply it to a property on an object that will contain an International Bank Account Number.
