Spanish Bank Account Codes

Introduction

The function clean_es_ccc() cleans a column containing Spanish Bank Account Code (CCC) strings, and standardizes them in a given format. The function validate_es_ccc() validates either a single CCC strings, a column of CCC strings or a DataFrame of CCC strings, returning True if the value is valid, and False otherwise.

CCC strings can be converted to the following formats via the output_format parameter:

  • compact: only number strings without any seperators or whitespace, like “12341234161234567890”

  • standard: CCC strings with proper whitespace in the proper places, like “1234 1234 16 12345 67890”

  • iban: convert the number to an IBAN in compact format, like “ES7712341234161234567890”.

Invalid parsing is handled with the errors parameter:

  • coerce (default): invalid parsing will be set to NaN

  • ignore: invalid parsing will return the input

  • raise: invalid parsing will raise an exception

The following sections demonstrate the functionality of clean_es_ccc() and validate_es_ccc().

An example dataset containing CCC strings

[1]:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "ccc": [

1. Default clean_es_ccc

By default, clean_es_ccc will clean ccc strings and output them in the standard format with proper separators.

4. validate_es_ccc()

validate_es_ccc() returns True when the input is a valid CCC. Otherwise it returns False.

The input of validate_es_ccc() can be a string, a Pandas DataSeries, a Dask DataSeries, a Pandas DataFrame and a dask DataFrame.

When the input is a string, a Pandas DataSeries or a Dask DataSeries, user doesn’t need to specify a column name to be validated.

When the input is a Pandas DataFrame or a dask DataFrame, user can both specify or not specify a column name to be validated. If user specify the column name, validate_es_ccc() only returns the validation result for the specified column. If user doesn’t specify the column name, validate_es_ccc() returns the validation result for the whole DataFrame.
