Apache Commons Validator has IBAN validation (since version 1.4)

Home page: http://commons.apache.org/validator/

Javadoc: https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-validator/apidocs/org/apache/commons/validator/routines/checkdigit/IBANCheckDigit.html

Maven dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>commons-validator</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-validator</artifactId>
  <version>1.7</version>
</dependency>

Edit: Updated javadoc link.
