OVERVIEW
General OverviewBankFinder is a very powerful bank lookup system, and there are many different ways to harness it. Typically, BankFinder can help in the following ways:
Rapid Bank Lookup
By entering a Sort Code, BIC Code or a Postcode,
BankFinder can return full Bank details and the address.
Rapid Account Number and Debit/Credit Card
Number Verification
By entering an account number of a debit/credit
card number BankFinder will check it has a valid format and checksum
to help eliminate most errors in input.
Powerful Search Facilities
When the sort code, BIC Code or Postcode are
unknown, BankFinder can still quickly locate the Bank record you
require when provided with a Branch Name or Title, Bank Name, Town,
whole or the start of the Phone Number or by looking for text you
specify in all of the bank fields.
Check accuracy of details supplied
With the move towards paperless Direct Debits
where the accuracy-check becomes even more important - especially
for transactions made by telephone, BankFinder allows you to quickly
and easily check the bank details supplied are correct.
Label Printing
BankFinder enables you to print individual
mailing labels and envelopes: simply add a name for the addressee
if required to the address provided by BankFinder.
From the Task Bar, select Start - Programs - AFD BankFinder - BankFinder
BankFinder will display an information splash
screen, then the BankFinder Main Window will be loaded. If you have
used any Command Line Options (see
below), these may have customised the way in which BankFinder will
load.
Most BankFinder operations take place from the Main Window, and the
method of operating the program will be familiar to Windows users, as
the controls conform to Windows standards.
The Main Window consists of the following parts:
Menu
Use the menu to store and retrieve settings,
print labels, change editing and viewing options, insert addresses
into other programs, or use the on-line Help system.

Most rapid address entry or address lookups can
be carried out from this single box - simply enter your request and click

requests, view bank and address data, and print labels.
