What are you talking about? IBAN account numbers have not one, but two digit checksums.

I probably don't live in the same part of the world as you. IBAN account numbers are not common here at all.

That only proves that banks in your part of the world are way behind the state of the art. The one thing it doesn't prove -- I hope you didn't think it does? -- is that Crypto/Blockchain is necessary for international currency transfers (as some deluded poster here tried to argue a week or two ago).
