Algorithm for validating NUBAN

NUBAN Validator

Algorithm for validating NUBAN

Introduction

The CBN released the Guidelines on Nigeria Uniform Bank Account Number(NUBAN) scheme in August, 2010, to achieve uniform customer bank account numbering structure among all Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria, within 9 months. NUBAN has great potentials to resolve the observed problems with electronic payments in Nigeria, as many of them are related to specification of wrong beneficiary account numbers

However, a number of operational modalities need to be released to the market by the CBN, to facilitate smooth and successful implementation of the scheme. Accordingly, the Cheques and ACH Working Group (CAWG) met and deliberated on these issues and hereby recommend the foregoing.

Bank Codes Table

nuban's Issues

Breaking down this repo into small individual repos

I'm in need of this validation for python only. As am building a app that requires account number validation with django. I suggest we can break this individual implementation into individual repos because

1. Cloning this whole repo is a huge waste for me. Containing lots of 'the same code' I don't need.
2. Package management issues, breaking away and hosting on npm or pypi allows me to add this as dependencies and update easily

Thanks!

Nuban update

Hello,
Here's the Nuban update, it now has 6 digits CBN !!

Here's the new bank code/CBN rule:

For DMBs:
ABCDEF is the 3-digit Financial Institution code assigned by the CBN, with 3 leading zeros e.g. ‘011’ and ‘232’ become ‘000011’ and ‘000232’ respectively;
For OFIs:
ABCDEF is the 5-digit Financial Institution code assigned by the CBN with a
leading ‘9’ e.g. ‘50547’ becomes ‘950547’;

For example Kuda Bank CBN is 50211

Setup CI

I think there should be CI that checks if the implementations are valid as a build step.
