Common workflows

FAQ
- Does valid format guarantee the bank exists?
- No. Structural validation checks ISO 9362 format only, not live network registration.
- Can this tool resolve bank names automatically?
- Not directly. Use a SWIFT directory to map bank code prefixes to institutions.
- Are lowercase inputs supported?
- Yes. Inputs are normalized to uppercase before validation.
