The SEPA XML format has several restrictions, which characters are allowed. Also banks and banking software may add some more restrictions. It is safe to use only letters (A-Z, a-z) and numbers (0-9). In most cases the following special characters are also allowed: + ? / – : ( ) . , ‘
Only, if you want to uses Pro-features, a Pro-license must be entered. In this case a Pro-license has to be bought and entered into SEPAApp. Users of the Standard-version may use SEPAApp as usual without entering a Pro-license.
The price has to be paid only once (and includes all future updates)! There are no recurring license fees! Only upgrades like SEPAApp Standard to SEPAApp Pro are chargeable.
A common mistake is that the template with BIC is used and on the GUI an import without BIC is set, or, conversely, that the template without BIC is used and on the GUI an import with BIC is set.
