General information

Using an existing account

To make data entry easier: using an existing account

To ensure data quality, please provide all essential data.

In addition, when the account belongs to a client of the reporting entity and is relevant to the report, you must enter all available fields, namely the person(s) related to the account (mandatory if you select Account My Client) and if needed the legal person related to the account, if the account holder is an entity.

When the account does not belong to a client of the reporting entity, or belongs to such a client but is not relevant to the report, you only need to provide the following fields:

• Account number
• IBAN (if applicable)
• SWIFT (and Branch, if applicable) OR Identifier (institution_code)

In this case, do not enter the person(s) related to the account, nor the entity related to the account.
