If data encryption is enabled and the encryption process is run for the SRC_BANK record, the IBAN is encrypted in the database if it belongs to a country that is specified on the Define Country for Encryption Page. Also, the IBAN appears as masked on this page. An exception to this is when the user is assigned the Source Bank Account Admin role, and this role is defined on the Grant Unmasked Access Page for the SRC_BANK record.

Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Wait Days |
Enter the number of prenote wait days. What you enter here at the source bank level determines whether the prenotification process is required or not. If you enter 0 in this field, there won't be a prenote generated at the payee level. If you enter any number other than 0 in this field, a prenote is required. When a company makes transfers to a new account (for example, an employee changes the account for automatic deposits), the banks recommend an initial run with a dummy record to establish that this is a valid (existing) account. The specified waiting period (after the dummy run but before the funds can be transferred to this account) is called the prenote wait days. Note: Enable the prenote process to validate the transit numbers, which you specify at the employee level. |
