Hoi, An IBAN number is NOT a credit card ... You need a ping number in combination with some smart card functionality in order to make it work.. The combination generates a number that is always different..
You can steal my card but making use of it without the pin number is really hard, next to impossible.. At that Europe has better card security than the USA. Thanks, GerardM

One avenue for fraud that's facilitated by posting account numbers is small payment fraud, usually involving stolen credit cards. [.............]
So what all this message have to do with IBAN?
As the rest of the message discussed, the fraudsters can use the IBAN to make a "donation" in order to test that stolen card information belongs to a real credit card.
