What is this information for?
Within your Bottomline BACS software, you have
an embedded ISCD (Industry Sort Code Directory). This allows your
software to validate sort codes and account numbers within your BACS
files to ensure your credit and debit data is as accurate as
possible. Bottomline provide you with an update to this directory
free of charge every month.
This update notification also applies to BankScan (Bottomline's sort code and account number validation software) and Faster Payments Solutions.
IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM BACS: From January 2012, all Bacs service users must update all databases and applications that use sort code information, supplied by the ISCD, on at least a monthly basis to remain compliant.
For full details, please read the official Bacs announcement here To
find out how you can ensure your Bacs software is ready to meet this
new requirement please contact your Bottomline Account
Manager.
