Start with validate_iban on any IBAN-looking string (e.g. DE89370400440532013000) — one call returns validity, the issuing bank + BIC, virtual-IBAN/EMI detection, SEPA reachability and VoP readiness. Free tier: 10 tool calls/IP/day here, no signup. For sustained use, POST https://api.ibanforge.com/v1/keys/generate with no body at all — no e-mail, no card, nothing to confirm — and an ifk_ key worth 25 REST calls/month comes back on the spot. POST https://api.ibanforge.com/v1/keys/claim lifts that same key to 200 REST calls/month — send the key as "Authorization: Bearer ifk_...", not in the body, once it has served at least one call. Two ways: a 6-digit code mailed to an address your human gave you FOR THIS (ask in their words, "Use my address you@company.com to create a free IBANforge key", and never send an address your human has not handed you for this purpose), or an x402 payment made on the key. The mailed code gives 200 every month; a payment gives 200 once. Or ask for a durable key with request_api_key then poll_api_key: a human approves in a browser, the agent never handles an address, and both tools keep answering after the daily limit. Prepaid credit packs from $4 per 1,000 calls, no expiry. Missing data, wrong result, or something blocking you from paying? Call send_feedback — a human reads every report. Paying as an agent (wallet, USDC on Base, prepaid packs): https://ibanforge.com/docs/pay-as-an-agent — Docs and code samples: https://ibanforge.com/docs/recipes

validate_ibanVerify whether a European IBAN is valid AND enrich it with bank, compliance and routing data.
Inferred read-onlybatch_validate_ibanValidate up to 100 IBANs in a single call at $0.002 per IBAN (60% cheaper than calling validate_iban repeatedly at $0.005).
Inferred read-onlylookup_bicResolve a BIC / SWIFT code into the underlying bank: name, country, city, LEI, and registered head-office address (where available).
Inferred read-onlycheck_complianceRun a full pre-flight compliance check on an IBAN before sending a SEPA / cross-border payment.
Potential side effectsvalidate_payment_referenceValidate a structured payment reference and, when an IBAN is supplied, decide whether the two may legally travel together.
Potential side effectscheck_swiss_qr_billCheck a Swiss QR-bill payload, the text a QR-bill's code carries (starts with SPC), rule by rule, each finding citing the SIX document it comes from.
Inferred read-onlycheck_postal_addressCheck a structured ISO 20022 postal address against a payment rail's published address rules, rule by rule, each verdict citing the document it comes from.
Potential side effectslookup_ch_clearingResolve a Swiss BC-Nummer / IID (1 to 5 digits) into the underlying institution.
Inferred read-onlysend_feedbackReport a problem or a need directly to the IBANforge operators: incorrect validation result, stale or missing BIC/bank data, latency, or anything blocking you from using or PAYING for the service (missing network, unclear pricing, quota shape).
Inferred read-onlyrequest_api_keyStart the process that gives this session its own free IBANforge API key, without any e-mail address and without leaving your conversation.
Inferred read-onlypoll_api_keyCollect the API key once a human has approved the request opened by request_api_key.
