Account Number

- AccountNumber — Each account can have multiple account and routing numbers. We recommend that you use a set per vendor. This is similar to how you use different passwords for different websites. Account numbers can also be used to seamlessly reconcile inbound payments. Generating a unique account number per vendor ensures you always know the originator of an incoming payment.
