There are two categories of financial institutions, Deposit Money Banks (DMB) with 3 digit bank code, and Other Financial Institutions (OFI) with 5 digit bank code. The account number to validate must be 10 digits, while serial number for account number generation must be 9 digits.

Validation

Follow these steps to validate an account number.

Get a valid bank code (DMB or OFI) and an account number you wish to verify belonging to the bank.

Import the Nuban class using the 'use Emyu/Nuban/Nuban'

Call the Nuban class with it's static method as 'Nuban::validate($bankCode, $accountNumber)' to validate your account number.

It returns 'Valid' if account number is correct and belongs to the bank with the code. Returns 'Invalid' otherwise.

    use Emyu\Nuban\Nuban;

    class ExampleClass {

        public $bankCode = '011';

        public $accountNumber = '0000014579';

        function exampleFunction($bankCode, $accountNumber){

           // validate a Deposit Money Bank account number
           $status = Nuban::validate($bankCode, $accountNumber);

           // value of $status = 'Valid'
        }
    }

Generation

Follow these steps to generate an account number.

Get a valid bank code (DMB or OFI) and a 9 digit serial number you wish to use as an account number.

Import the Nuban class using the 'use Emyu/Nuban/Nuban'

Call the Nuban class with it's static method as 'Nuban::generate($bankCode, $serialNumber)' to generate a valid account number.
