What this check covers

The United Kingdom example combines a bank identifier, domestic sort code, and account number after the checksum.

The checker removes spaces, converts the value to uppercase, moves the first four characters to the end, converts letters to numbers, and confirms that the modulo-97 remainder is one.

United Kingdom IBAN structure

The expected layout is GB + 2 check digits + 4-letter bank code + 6-digit sort code + 8-digit account number. This page compares the 22-character fixture with that structure.

A passing checksum does not prove that an account exists, identify its owner, or confirm that a transfer can be completed. An official institution check is still required.
