This account will be the one which will fund the invoices by default, and whose contact details will be displayed in the “IBAN” headers of the invoices (use the context menu of the list to define the default account).

The one with the red sticker is marked as closed.

Via the context menu of the list, you can print a bank identity statement for the selected account: either a RIB + IBAN or a simple IBAN.

IBAN / BIC: account identifiers

The IBAN is formatted according to the country of residence of the head office. If the bank account is not in the same country, you can use the IBAN context menu to remove the input mask.

If it is a professional account, you should theoretically only record movements concerning professional transactions.

The clear account number is used in some states, easier to read than the IBAN.
