In Australia at present there is no requirement for a barcode or QR code on receipts and we don't comply with regard to use of the IBAN bank account identifier and the BIC banking information code. We do have a parallel system of bank account numbers and a BSB code which identifies the bank and account and this information is passed to our tax office but these do not conform with the BIC and IBAN codes in use in Europe under the EPC at the moment. For international transfers from here we supply the IBAN code for the target account in electronic funds transfers for countries using that system (Europe, Middle East , Caribbean). The IBAN codes have a 2 character country identifier followed by a code internal to each country to identify bank, branch and customer account which is up to 34 characters long. This usually includes the SWIFT Business Identifier Code (8-11 characters). ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
