Figure: Form for entering an account
When creating a new account, you can choose between an account with IBAN or German account number or an account with foreign account number. Both pages are almost identical and only differ for the entry of the bank details.
The various configuration options are spread over the tab cards General and Account statements. By clicking the Submit button at the bottom of the page the changes you have made are saved.
This drop-down list displays the banks available in your system. If you wish to create an account for a bank not listed here, you must first set up a new bank access. This is described in section Banks - New bank connection.
In the account overview, the accounts are by default identified by the IBAN or the combination of sort code and account number. Instead, you can assign your own name or use the identification, under which your bank manages the account. The name is displayed in the Account drop-down list when entering a payment.
Here, you can enter an arbitrary description.
The name that you enter here appears in the Originator field during payment recording.
For entering the bank connection, the fields Account number, Sort code, IBAN and BIC are available. For an account with IBAN or German account number, at least an account number and sort code, or an IBAN must be entered. Depending on the setting Allow invalid bank connection in the preferences under Payment recording, the entries are checked for validity.
During the entry of the sort code and the BIC, autocompletion is available for convenience. This is described in chapter General - User interface - Detail pages.
When entering an account with a foreign account number, there is the field Bank code instead of the sort code. The bank details are not checked for validity here and autocompletion is only available for the BIC.
Select the currency from the drop-down list.
