Bankscan
Bankscan.dll Sort Code and Account Number checking is no longer supported by the third party that has provided it. In the near future we will stop sending out the monthly dll updates as they will not be available.
We have developed an internal mechanism that enables checking of Sort Code and Account Numbers.

If a sort code or account number is warned as Not Valid, but is correct, it is still possible to contact IQX for an override code.
In addition, the IQX Systems Administrator, and the Accounts Dept, can be given access to an xml job that will manually add a sort code to the allowable list. The addition is audited.
