Bank Validator

The Bank Validator adds immediate visual feedback in a Bank Account Validation Result field. This shows whether the entered Bank Branch No. and Bank Account No. are valid according to Australian and New Zealand validation data and rules. The validation is added to:

In addition to the display on the setup cards, the Payment Journal shows a warning if the bank account number used on the related account is not in a valid format.

This easy-to-use app helps you to reduce mistakes in data entry when setting up customer or vendor bank accounts, or any other page where a bank account number must be entered.

For each company in your environment you can select a default validation rule from either:

Account numbers are validated using data provided by PaymentsNZ for New Zealand bank accounts and the Australian Payments Network for Australian bank account numbers. As well as ensuring entered numbers are in the correct format, Bank Validator will check the bank and branch codes match the data downloaded from the validation rule data source. For New Zealand bank accounts, the account number is validated using the appropriate checksum calculation for the bank type.

Whilst we can't guarantee the bank account number you have entered is correct, we can ensure it is valid (meaning it conforms to the validation rules). The realtime feedback during data entry can help to eliminate storing miskeyed data, which becomes more time consuming to resolve when the original source data is no longer at hand.

Bank Validator is available as an unlimited free trial when installed in a sandbox environment. Read the install guide for details on how to get started.
