Address, Postcode and Bank solutions
Address Tab
This tab is used to display the Postal Address and Telephone Number of a Bank in a record found by BankFinder. For branches on the IPSO (Irish) clearing system the fax number is also included. It can be selected by clicking the tab - or use the [Alt]+3 keyboard shortcut.
Please note that in the case of branches on the UK (BACS) clearing system the address given is the address held by BACS for correspondence and clearing processes for this branch. It may not be it's physical address. If you wish to verify the branch location then we would recommend you look at the Branch Name, Title, and Location fields on the Bank Tab (keyboard shortcut [Alt] + 2). For branches on the IPSO (Irish) clearing system the address given is normally the branches physical address.
UK addresses displayed have been cleaned against the Royal Mail Postcode Address File so as to increase the accuracy of the addresses held. Where incorrect postcodes are found these have been corrected, however the original postcode is indexed for searching so you can still look up a bank from an old (incorrect) postcode.
The 'Full Names' option can be toggled from the 'Edit Menu'. This specifies if the banks full name is displayed in the Organisation field of the address or if the shortened (official) form is used. Not all banks extend these - in which case the text displayed will be the same regardless of if this item is selected.
Field-Transfer
To transfer any address field from the Address Tab to the equivalent field
on the Search Tab, where available, simply, click the descriptive label
to its left - e.g. to transfer a 'Postcode' , click the letters of the
word 'Postcode'.
You can drag text from the individual fields of the Address Tab and drop it into other Windows programs - like Microsoft Word.
Hold down one of the [Shift] keys (usually marked with a hollow arrow pointing upwards). Then click and hold down the left mouse button on the field you wish to move (drag) text from - the cursor will turn into a dragging icon. Now move to the program you wish to place the text in (keeping the mouse button down). Finally, release the mouse button to drop the text in the new field.
