IAI: Individual Account Identification. Up to 12 digits:
Assigned by the card issuing institution.
CD: Check Digit. 1 digit:
Calculated using the Luhn formula for computing modulus 10 "double-add-double" check digit: Double the value of alternate (odd) digits starting by the least significant (first right hand) digit. Then add the individual digits of doubled (odd) numbers and even digits of the original number. If the value ends in 0 then the check digit is 0. Otherwise subtract the value from the next higher number ending in 0 (tens complement of the unit digit). The result is the check digit. Example: If the account number without check digit is 1234 5678 9012 344 then (8) + 4 + (6) + 2 + (2) + 0 + (1 + 8) + 8 + (1 + 4) + 6 + (1 + 0) + 4 + (6) + 2 + (2) = 65, therefore the check digit is 70 - 65 = 5 and so the complete account number is 1234 5678 9012 3445.
