    If the country is situated in the SEPA area, the IBAN check check box is selected and mandatory. Profit checks the IBAN number based on a default check of the validity of IBAN numbers and checks if the first two letters are identical to the country code you enter in Country of bank. You can check the IBAN number and the BIC code using several websites (including www.ibanbicservice.nl, www.tuxx.nl and www.ibannl.org/uitleg-over-iban which provides a detailed explanation of the IBAN number check).

    If you do want to use the check, the bank determines which check you should select. You can ask your bank which check you need to apply. Several SHA256 and SHA1 checks can be performed, including:

    • SHA256-File: This method also adds the SHA256 to the SEPA file. It has been developed specifically for the ABN AMRO bank.
