[jira] [Commented] (VALIDATOR-330) IbanCheckDigit.isValid() returns True for some invalid IBANs

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-330?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13885309#comment-13885309 ] 

Sebb commented on VALIDATOR-330:
--------------------------------

I can confirm there's something rather odd happening here.
It should not be possible for both 01 and 98 to be correct, yet both return true from isValid.

> For example, isValid() returns True for both of these IBANs; "IE01AIBK93118702569045" and "IE98AIBK93118702569045".  The "IE98" version is the correct one (confirmed with online checkers, which also fail the "IE01" version).
> calculate() correctly returns "98".  As a workaround I'm calling calculate() and comparing the result with the checksum in the original IBAN.
