Nonunique prefixes across banks

[khasanovbi]

Hello, now in the database there are 2 prefixes that are found in several banks. Can we fix this to make the definition of the Bank unambiguous?

451751 - ar/icbc and us/bankofamerica
528625 - us/chase and za/virginmoney

@khasanovbi @ramoona should we do something based on the locale of the user?
for eg:
if 123456 is available for us and in
123456 - us/jpmorgan and in/hdfc
based on locale check
locale: en_in will return in/hdfc and en_us will return us/jpmorgan

@vikram-mudaliar, it can be done but it's totally a task for BanksDB users, not for the BanksDB itself. maybe I could slightly expand the API to provide all the matches (along with countries) so that you could decide for yourself which bank to use? also, remember that locale is not a very accurate way to detect user's country. for example I live in Russia but I use Eng locale on my system
