static function, return IBAN instance

createIndirect

web3.eth.Iban.createIndirect(options)

Singleton: Creates an indirect IBAN address from a institution and identifier.

Parameters

  1. Object: the options object as follows:
    • institution - String: the institution to be assigned
    • identifier - String: the identifier to be assigned

Returns
