Why can't the banks decide to have a standard format for bank account numbers, i.e. how the number is broken up into groups.
It's a right pain when trying to pay someone via the Net. I'd really
like to copy and paste the whole number, but the ASB won't allow that
to be done since the paste won't go into four separate fields in one operation.
I have statements that show the following formats:
BNZ 12-1234-1234567-123
ASB 12-1234-1234567-12
National 1234-1234567890
note the ASB is one digit shorter than the others.
and I've just been given an account in this format:
Westpac 123-123-12345-1234
and I just decided that I won't buy the item after all since who knows
if the number is correct.
p.s. who the hell has more than 99 accounts under the one number, so
why have a three digit suffix?
