What the IFSC & Bank Branch Lookup API does

Mistyped IFSC codes are a leading cause of failed transfers. The IFSC Lookup API validates the code, fills in the bank and branch details for the user and tells you which rails the branch supports, so a payout is routed correctly the first time.

It is free of personal data and can be called liberally inside forms, before Bank Account Verification runs on the full details.

Benefits of the IFSC & Bank Branch Lookup API

Auto-fill forms

Users type the code; bank and branch fill themselves.

Fewer failed payments

Invalid codes never reach the payment run.

Instant

Suitable for keystroke-level validation.

Low cost

Inexpensive enough for every form submission.
