“Conditional” means the field depends on the provider, currency or payment rail.
DetailWhenFormatWhat to check
Recipient namerequiredExact legal or account name
Use the name shown by the recipient's bank. Do not shorten a business name.
IBANrequired18 characters, beginning NL
The published national format is NLkk BBBB CCCC CCCC CC.
SWIFT/BICconditional8 or 11 characters
Use the code supplied by the recipient's bank when the payment form asks for it.
LOCAL PAYOUT OR DIRECT WIRE?
The same destination can ask for different details
For a SEPA euro transfer, the IBAN is normally enough. A bank or provider may still request a BIC for a non-SEPA route or a different currency.
Prefer their banking screen, official statement or bank-issued incoming-payment instructions.
Use the official source links below. A passing format is not an institution match.
Call through a trusted number, not contact details contained in the payment-change message.
