What Zegel relies on

Every check follows a public rule or an official list. Here they all are, with the date we checked them.

Copied lists

Two lists are built into Zegel itself, so searching can happen on your device: the bank codes from the National Bank (version 1 September 2026, 761 codes) and the postcodes from Statbel (version 1 January 2025, 1152 rows).
