IBAN

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.

Class

Basic Usage

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 of this constraint. 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

{{ label }}

Corresponding form field label

New in version 5.2: The {{ label }} parameter was introduced in Symfony 5.2.

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.
