Every Netherlands IBAN starts with NL and is 18 characters long. The two digits after the country code are a checksum (ISO 7064 mod-97) computed from the rest of the number, so a single mistyped character makes the whole IBAN invalid — which is exactly what this validator catches before a payment is sent.
