REGEX for BIC and IBAN processing

Background

BIC and IBAN are banking standards set out by SWIFT. While the standard defines a structure for IBAN, the resultant values do verify depending upon country. While a generic expression for all IBANs is possible, it cope with the variability it has to handle some possible incorrect variations. SO the following table provides the right expressions for each country.
