Definition

Works with the checking rule to define the rules for a country-specific formal check of the creditor ID. The creditor ID consists of a predefined part (the first 7 characters with the country code, check digit and business area) and an individual part specific to each country. The length of the country-specific part should be entered into this parameter.

Use

The creditor ID is used in the SEPA mandates.

Dependencies

Example

France: FR72ZZZ123456

The country-specific part (123456) is always 6 characters long and numerical. For the country FR, the length 6 and the checking rule 4 (must meet exact length requirement, numerical, without spaces) should be entered.

Great Britain: GB49ZZZSDDBARC000001UK

The country-specific part (SDDBARC000001UK) has a very flexible structure which is determined by the individual banks and can be up to 28 characters long (in combination with the predefined part, it can be up to 35 characters long). For the country GB, the length 28 and the checking rule 1 (maximum length, no spaces), or the length 0 (or blank) and the checking rule 9 (check against a country-specific template) should be entered. In the second case (if a template is available), a country-specific formal check will be performed.
