Include France in the list of supported countries

[jvermeercc]

Hi,
Would it be possible to include France in the list of supported countries? It would be great if the service also returns BIC's for IBAN's from France :)

Hi,
do you have any pointers towards some official list of french banks (including BIC, bank code etc.) that could be used as a data source?
For Germany, the Bundesbank provides such a list as a download: https://www.bundesbank.de/en/tasks/payment-systems/services/bank-sort-codes/download-bank-sort-codes-626218
I took a quick look but couldn't find anything similar for France.

Hi,
it's sad but the french list is not free.
It seems we have to buy the official list from "Banque de France" or we have to use an unofficial list of "Code Banque/Code Guichet" to calcultate BIC from french IBAN.
I don't think that you have found an issue to this request ?
Thank you

Fyi, the European Central Bank is providing this list: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/financial_corporations/list_of_financial_institutions/html/monthly_list-MID.en.html

I have created an easily importable go package to check an IBAN/BIC locally https://code.pfad.fr/swift/ (it uses code generation instead of a local database).

Supported country codes:
AT (Austria)
BE (Belgium)
CH (Switzerland)
DE (Germany)
ES (Spain)
FR (France)
LI (Liechtenstein)
LU (Luxembourg)
MC (Monaco)
NL (Netherlands)
