Payment slips, account numbers, and IBAN on bills

Payfriend reads payment details from the document. Check and fix payment slip (+71/+73), account numbers, or IBAN before you pay.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

To pay a bill, Payfriend needs to know where money should go. Details are usually read from the PDF/image: payment slip (+71/+73), sort code + account, or IBAN (optionally with SWIFT).

Before you start

  • Bill exists under Bills

  • Document image is readable (sharp, full payment line visible)

Steps

1. Open the bill

2. Find payment details

Check whether AI filled FI/payment ID, Danish account, or IBAN (+ BIC for international).

3. Fix anything missing or wrong

Copy from the document. Small OCR errors cause bank rejections.

4. Save

5. Pay

Continue with Pay bills. The bank still approves via SCA.

Check that it worked

  • Pay is enabled (details complete)

  • Amount matches the document

  • No unverified “supplier account changed” warning
