IBAN print format keeps interior spaces · case 05

IBANs copied in groups of four are reported malformed.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

IBAN validation for the countries DE 22, GB 22, FR 27, NL 18, BE 16, NO 15, MT 31 (other countries: "malformed"). Spaces (print format) are removed and letters are upper-cased. The check digits must be 02..98. Move the first four characters to the end, replace letters with 10..35, and the IBAN is "valid" when the number is 1 mod 97.
