Note:

Enter the data of your bank for the new organisation. Per bank, you can add multiple bank accounts.

Enter the bank details:
In Country of bank, select the country of the bank.
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).
Deselect the IBAN check check box if the bank account number is not an IBAN account number.
Enter the account number in IBAN number, if the account number is an IBAN bank account number.
Enter the account number in Bank account, if the bank account number is not an IBAN account number.
Profit enters the BIC code (in case of a Dutch IBAN number) and Bank type automatically.
In BIC code, enter the Bank Identifier Code in CAPITALS if it has not been entered automatically. This field is mandatory for an IBAN number.

Select the SHA check in Integrity feature method if you want to use this check digit for a visual SHA check of collection and payment files. Select No integrity feature if you do not want to use a hash 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.
- SHA256: this method only generates the SHA256 and places it in the payment table. This method is intended for the other banks.
