In Billit, you can add a non-IBAN account number, provided you use a specific format. You can do this in the settings of your own company, or in the customer and supplier records. To do so, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the right location in Billit

Go to the section where you want to add the account number. This can be:

• the settings under 'My company',
• a customer's record,
• or a supplier's record.

Step 2: Fill in the BIC field correctly
In the 'BIC' field, type the value in the following format:

SWIFTUS:<SWIFT-code>

Replace <SWIFT-code> with the bank's actual BIC or SWIFT code. For example: SWIFTUS:BOFAUS3N.

Note: The prefix 'SWIFTUS:' is required to be able to add a non-IBAN account.

Step 3: Fill in the IBAN field with the non-IBAN account number
In the 'IBAN' field, enter the account number you want to use. This may be an account number that doesn't follow the standard IBAN format.
Note: this field only accepts a non-IBAN account if the BIC field has been filled in correctly as described in step 2.

Step 4: Save the details
Save your changes by clicking 'Save'.

Important note
Adding a non-IBAN account is only possible if the BIC field starts with SWIFTUS: This method is intended for foreign accounts outside the SEPA zone that don't use an IBAN structure.
