+.. note::
+
+    The IBAN validator accepts various human-readable formats, including different
+    whitespace types (e.g., spaces, non-breaking spaces). This flexibility may
+    cause issues when storing IBANs or integrating with APIs expecting a strict
+    format. Consider normalizing IBANs (e.g., removing whitespace) before storage
+    or processing to ensure compatibility.
