Generate BIC from IBAN bank account number

Is there any existing library or script I can use to generate the BIC code from an IBAN bank account number (and other necessary information)?

I've searched the web, but found only IBAN generators.

Solution

  • Solution for Belgian IBAN bank account numbers:

    There exists a webservice for Belgian iban numbers, it's very easy to get the bic from the iban bank account number.

    $client = new SoapClient('http://www.ibanbic.be/IBANBIC.asmx?WSDL');
$bban = $client->getBelgianBBAN(array('Value' => $iban))->getBelgianBBANResult;
$bic = $client->BBANtoBIC(array('Value' => $bban))->BBANtoBICResult;

    I've searched for a dutch webservice aswell, but I couldn't find one. But you can always make one yourself with the data from http://www.betaalvereniging.nl/europees-betalen/sepa-documentatie/bic-afleiden-uit-iban/
