Payment reference and QR code for payers abroad
In Czechia and Slovakia a payment is matched by its variable symbol (VS). Banks elsewhere in the SEPA area do not know the VS. They carry a structured creditor reference (ISO 11649, "RF reference") instead. iSpis derives it from the VS of the claim, so you do not have to manage a second number:
| VS | RF reference |
|---|---|
47028401 | RF37 4702 8401 |
4821174401 | RF37 4821 1744 01 |
In templates
Use the claim variable RFReference (next to VS) in letters, payment
requests and invoices for payers outside Czechia and Slovakia, for example:
Please pay {p.ČástkaMěna} to IBAN … with the reference {p.RFReference}.
The payer enters the reference in the "creditor reference" / "structured reference" field of their bank. A payment carrying a valid RF reference, whether in the structured field or in the free-text message, is matched to the claim exactly like a payment with the VS. This works for bank statements from connected banks and for imported camt.053 statements.
QR code
QRCodeImgUrl gives a payment QR code in the format that banking apps in the
payer's country read:
| Payer's country | QR code |
|---|---|
| Czechia | QR Platba (SPD) |
| Slovakia | PAY by square |
| Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (EUR only) | EPC QR code (GiroCode) with the RF reference |
| other countries | none: the template shows no image |
The payer's country is the country of the debtor on the claim; if it is
empty, the country of your account is used. In other countries, put the IBAN
and RFReference in the text.
