Public predicates

bic/5

Parses and validates an ISO 9362 BIC atom into business party prefix, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code, business party suffix, and branch identifier. Eight-character BICs are normalized to the primary-office branch code XXX.

Compilation flags:

static

Template:

bic(BIC,Prefix,CountryAlpha2,Suffix,Branch)

Mode and number of proofs:

bic(+atom,?atom,?atom,?atom,?atom) - zero_or_one

---

canonical_bic/2

Returns the canonical 11-character form of a valid ISO 9362 BIC, using the branch code XXX when the input is an eight-character primary-office BIC.

Compilation flags:

static

Template:

canonical_bic(BIC,Canonical)

Mode and number of proofs:

canonical_bic(+atom,?atom) - zero_or_one

---

primary_office_bic/1

True when a valid ISO 9362 BIC denotes the primary office, either because it is eight characters long or because its branch identifier is XXX.

Compilation flags:

static

Template:

primary_office_bic(BIC)

Mode and number of proofs:

primary_office_bic(+atom) - zero_or_one
