U.S. Invoicing (Support for Swift Code plus alternative s/c & acc nbr)
Hi,
My bank accepts international payments in the EU using the BIC + IBAN that FreeAgent already support. That's fine.
However, for payments from the U.S. they use a Swift BIC + Account Number (8 digit) + Sort Code (usual 6 digit style). e.g:
BARCGB99
099999999
20-99-99
This must be their international clearing account, so there is also a reference, which is my REAL account number and company name (e.g. Ref: 12345678 MyCo Ltd).
My question is: The bank account settings work fine for the EU payments, but not for US payments. Can I set this up somewhere, or work-around it somehow?
Thanks,
Robin.

Inappropriate?Robin
You can work around this for the time being by entering these bank details in the comments section of your invoice.
But I'm guessing you'd also need to suppress the normal display of other bank account data, is that right?
The only way you can do that at the moment is to deselect your primary bank account from being displayed on invoices until you mark the invoice as sent, and then re-enabling it if required (the setting is stored with the invoice once it's marked as sent, effectively 'freezing' it).
A bit of a hassle, sorry.
We'll look into more flexibility here. Perhaps a way of adding a free-text bank payment comment as part of the bank account to be displayed on non-UK invoices.
I’m certain we'll get there in the end...

Inappropriate?Thanks Ed. I might not need to use it as the new customer isn't confirmed, but as least there is a work-around.
Cheers,
Robin.
I’m Sure it will!
