Supplier Remit-to Account Validations

Review the minimum requirements for setting your bank account for payment.

Introduction

When you create a remit-to account, you often need to complete banking information. This article describes the minimum requirements for setting your bank account for payment, but your customer may require additional information to be provided to them for confirming the validity of your account. All bank account remit-to’s must be approved by your customer prior to receiving payment to them. For more information about remit-to accounts, see View and Manage Remit-to Information.

How it works

Note

 SWIFT codes must be 8 or 11 characters, and the first 6 characters must be letters. Even though the SWIFT code might be optional, we strongly recommend to include it.
