RF creditor reference
An RF reference is a structured creditor reference that starts with RF and includes check digits. It can be used as a payment reference in systems that support the format.
Check or create
The calculator can check the technical format of an RF reference or create one from a base reference by calculating the check digits.
Base reference
When creating an RF reference, enter the underlying reference without the RF prefix. The calculator forms the check digits and returns the structured creditor reference.
Before using a payment reference
Compare the reference with the invoice or payment instructions before paying. A technically valid reference can still belong to the wrong invoice if it was copied incorrectly.
Technical scope
The result only concerns the reference format and check digits. It does not confirm an invoice, creditor, payment, recipient or amount.
