Cause

The system currently checks for duplicate IBANs across Bank Accounts.
It is no longer permitted to add a bank account with an IBAN that is already being used by another bank account.

Resolution

The code logic has been changed after 2018 and you cannot add a bank account with an IBAN that is already used by anther bank.

The system works as designed.
