BT-84

Payment account identifier

Raw

Account the payment should go to — the IBAN for SEPA credit transfers, otherwise a national account number. Mandatory once a credit transfer (BG-17) is stated.

Practical note

Billhorse runs a check-digit validation (ISO 13616, mod 97) on IBAN-like values — BH-IBAN-01 catches transposed digits. Spaces inside the IBAN are allowed and not an error.
