is always mandatory in
case of EEA currencies.
Outside the EEA an IBAN
is recommended when
the country of the

standard. In some IBANcountries (especially in
the Middle East) an IBAN
is mandatory too.
In all other countries an
account number is
recommended.
Furthermore provide
beneficiaries name,
address, place and
country.
Always provide the Party
identifier or else the
message will be rejected.
Option A is preferred to
be used.
If option D is used,
provide at least three
addresslines. The last line
must end with the
countrycode, preceded by
one space.
Using this field, will be
discouraged.
