NAME
Business::IBAN::NL::BIC - Lookup Dutch BIC and bank names from IBAN numbers.
DESCRIPTION
For Dutch IBAN numbers the bank code is contained within the account number. The bank code can be used to determine the BIC and the name of the bank at which the account is located.
The information contained in this module is taken from https://www.betaalvereniging.nl/giraal-en-online-betalen/sepa-documentatie-voor-nederland/bic-afleiden-uit-iban/ and contains correct information as of the date of the upload of this module.

LIMITATIONS
This module works only for valid Dutch IBAN numbers. It does not check IBAN numbers for correctness, please take a look at Business::IBAN::Validator for that.
