How does the IBAN check for Norway work?

Our IBAN Validator checks the Norwegian IBAN based on internationally defined ISO standards:

• Verification of the correct IBAN length (15 characters)
• Validation of the country code “NO”
• Calculation of the check digits using the modulo 97 method

The check confirms only the formal validity of the IBAN. A verification of the account holder or account status is technically not possible.
