Account number (IBAN or GIRO)

The bank account number in international IBAN form (e.g. HU42 1177 3016 1111 1018 0000 0000) or in Hungarian domestic form (e.g. 12345678-12345678 or 12345678-12345678-12345678). For a Hungarian account number the system recognises the bank from the number and fills in the Bank and Bank payment export format fields.

Based on the account number, the system:

• recognises which of your own accounts a bank statement belongs to during import – if the account has not been added yet, it warns you and offers to add it,
• recognises transfers between your own accounts,
• uses this account as the paying account for bank payment batches.

If the number you enter is invalid, the bank account cannot be saved. You can save a foreign account number too, but it cannot be used for bank payment batches.
