Error encountered: "Please enter a valid CLABE number for MEX, which must contain 18 numeric digits".

CLABE number has a deep validation in the system. System performs validation automatically regardless of settings.

The system validates the CLABE number based on the following logic.

We will use this 18-digit combination as an example: 002073665883837938

1. The last or 18th digit is taken out as the check digit. For our example, it is 8.
2. All the numbers from 1 to 17 are grouped by 3-digit and are multiplied by 3,7,1.
• If the number is (002)(073)(665)(883)(837)(93) then all the values in the group are multiplied by (3,7,1)
• (0 * 3, 0 * 7, 2 * 1) (0 * 3, 7 * 7, 3* 1) (6 * 3, 6 * 7, 5 * 1) (8 * 3, 8 * 7, 3 * 1) (8 * 3,3 * 7, 7 * 1) (9* 3, 3 * 7)
• Ans = (0,0,2)(0,49,3)(18,42,5)(24,56,3)(24,21,7)(27,21)
3. Perform MOD 10 on all of the numbers in the result above.
• Ans after mod 10 ->(0,0,2)(0,9,3)(8,2,5)(4,6,3)(4,1,7)(7,1)
4. Sum all the values.
• 0+0+2+0+9+3+8+2+5+4+6+3+4+1+7+7+1
• Sum = 62
5. Perform MOD 10 on the sum
• 62 % 10 mod_sum = 2
6. Perform the following calculation (10-mod_sum)%10
• (10-2)%10 = 8

ANSWER: The result 8 should match the check digit value (18th digit at the beginning).

If the value matches, the CLABE is valid. Else, error message will be displayed.

You may also download the attached CLABE Calculator Excel File to automate the calculation. You will just need to enter the 18-digit value.
