IBAN
Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 3.x, which is no longer maintained.
Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.1 (the current stable version).
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.

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

Note
As with most of the other constraints, null
and empty strings are
considered valid values. This is to allow them to be optional values.
If the value is mandatory, a common solution is to combine this constraint
with NotBlank.
Options
groups
type: array
| string
It defines the validation group or groups this constraint belongs to. Read more about validation groups.
message
type: string
default: This is not a valid International Bank Account Number (IBAN).
The default message supplied when the value does not pass the IBAN check.
You can use the following parameters in this message:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
{{ value }} |
The current (invalid) value |
payload
type: mixed
default: null
This option can be used to attach arbitrary domain-specific data to a constraint. The configured payload is not used by the Validator component, but its processing is completely up to you.
For example, you may want to use several error levels to present failed constraints differently in the front-end depending on the severity of the error.
