Central Branch Code Processing

Most South African banks now use a Central Branch Code (CBC) for transactional banking (also known as Universal Branch Codes (UBC)). Any software that allows for the capture of bank account details should implement these as it reduces the risk of users entering incorrect branch codes or having to request additional information to complete bank details. Payment failures are significantly reduced when using central branch codes.
