Online IBAN Calculator is fundamentally broken!

Cathalog

The IBAN calculator that can be found on the 365Online Add Payee site is providing false BIC numbers. Specifically, it appends "XXX" to the end of the actual BIC.

[font=Verdana, sans-serif]The IBAN calculator is linked with the Irish Payments Services Organisation (IPSO) and the information is correct.[/font]
[font=Verdana, sans-serif]You will need to check with the bank you are transferring to, to see if you need to remove the xxx before proceeding.[/font]


[font=Verdana, sans-serif]I hope this helps, thanks, [/font]

The XXX is normal afaik. The systems we use in work require us to add xxx in order for it to accept BICs, I suppose it depends on the payee as to what they require

As an example the bic we require from boi customers is BOFIIE2DXXX

Cathalog, BICs GEBABEBB and GEBABEBBXXX are equivalent. Just drop the XXX. It depends on the BIC generator.

Ah cheers guys. I wasn't able to add a payee until I removed the XXX. So I assumed that was the issue.

But it probably had something to do with the 365 system being glitchy in the past few hours.
