Hey Ashod,

Your bank number is really just the account number at your bank, but we’ve made the mistake of making the IBAN field mandatory, while that is information not available to costumers in countries like Australia. I’m about to make an update to the site to reflect that, so you should be able to fill in all the relevant banking fields after that.

My account consists of 2 parts -

My bank account number

and

A Bsb number ( something like a branch number ) ,

All bank accounts in Australia have both these -

If I use my account number as the ‘Bank number’

then what ?

I’ve looked into this and you do need to specify your account number and SWIFT/BIC number. BSB is an Australia specific number, which only seems to be applicable for australia to australia transactions. I’ve added a BSB field, for Zaypay might open an australian account in the future. However, right now you really do need to specify a SWIFT/BIC number.

If you don’t know what your SWIFT/BIC is, you can probably ask your bank for help.
