Is there a means of looking up a bank name & branch through Javascript?
Perhaps an external service or an complete data-set that can be hosted internally and accessed through JSON?
The first six numbers (XXXXXX) represent the bank and the branch, similar to how a BSB code identifies the bank and branch. The next seven digits (YYYYYYY) represent the individual's unique account. The last three digits (ZZZ) tells the sender and bank what type of account it is (checking, savings, etc.).
Due to banks opening new branches from time to time, we may not have all the BSB numbers in our system records yet. The customer may have unknowingly provided you an incorrect BSB number.
If you're looking for your own BSB number, you can also find it in your online banking or on your account statements. Always check the BSB number with your bank or recipient. If you use the wrong number, your payment could bounce, or be sent to the wrong account.
A Bank State Branch (often referred to as "BSB") is the name used in Australia for a bank code, which is a branch identifier. The BSB is normally used in association with the account number system used by each financial institution.
For anyone still looking, the APCA themselves publish a continually updated list of BSB numbers which you can download in CSV format here.
