Overview
This manual page documents briefly the ktoblzcheck application.
ktoblzcheck is a program that will check a given account and blz for the bank being valid and the account being valid using some checksum calculations, if supported for that particular bank. The output is the clear-text name of the bank specified by <bank-id>, and whether the given <account-id> is a valid account number at this bank.
Options
<bank-id>-
This is the Bankleitzahl (bank routing id), actually it is the account-id of that particular bank at the Deutsche Bundesbank.
<account-id>-
This is the account number you wish to verify. If the checksum method of the bank specified by the <bank-id> is supported, you will get the account-id verified, i.e. if it is a valid account-id at that particular bank.
