UkAccountNumber
On this page
A UK bank account number: eight digits, with any leading zeros kept.
Use it beside a UkSortCode. For the two together, use BankAccount.
Shape
One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: 88837491.
Example
UkAccountNumber("66374958")UkAccountNumber(raw) checks the text, and text that isn't one breaks the format rule.
text.parse(raw, as: UkAccountNumber) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 6637495, 663749580 or 6637495A.
Good to know
- It must have all eight digits, so keep any leading zeros.
==tells you whether two are the same.<andlist.sort_bydon't take it.- A field that holds one counts as personal data (
financial), so you don't mark it yourself.
In JSON
A string, in a request, a response or json.write:
"66374958""88837491"
