When Pocket BankFinder finds results for your lookup or search, it places them in the Results List at the bottom of the Main Window. Simply click an entry in the Results List to see full details of the record. Use the options on the View menu to switch between the different categories of Bank information or to select the Validate Account or Validate Card options.

By selecting Properties from the File menu you can specify the maximum number of results to return from any search, as well as the clearing systems to use:

Clearing Systems
BankFinder contains data for both the UK (BACS) and Irish (IPSO) clearing systems. Here you can select which clearing system you wish to use (or both). This choice would largely depend on which system or systems you were able to accept payments through. For example if you are processing direct debits in the UK, IPSO records would likely be irrelevant to you and you would not want to validate an Irish account for that so you would select only to have records from the UK system.
Many customers use AFD BankFinder to validate bank address, account and sort code information - for example in relation to Standing Orders and Direct Debit mandates. It is very important that unless you have access to the Irish Payment Services Organisation for clearing your banking transactions, you DO NOT use BankFinder to validate against Irish data!
To cancel a Lookup, Search or the display of a Lookup List, simply click the Cancel button. Note that Pocket BankFinder can only respond to a cancel instruction once the initialisation of the Lookup or Search action is completed - this may take a few seconds.
