Definition

This is an alternate key that can be used to locate a record. It is not used by the system for processing, but can be used for reporting.

If you are the recipient of the funds, the external reference number is used to store the grantor's reference number. Reports sent to the grantor include this number.

If you are a grantor, this field will probably be empty.
