Hi James,

(Replying to the list. Can you join it, please?)

Yes, this is problematic. For the Dutch region, there is a decent 
account number lookup that translates domestic account numbers to IBAN 
when a new account is entered. The lookup enables users in the Dutch 
territory to build up a collection of IBAN numbers for their business 
contacts, while still using the domestic format (which is still widely 
used). The matching mechanism queries both fields as well.

Slightly off topic, have you had a chance to look at 
https://code.launchpad.net/~therp-nl/banking-addons/6.0-interactive-matching-and-debit-orders? 
I had suggested in the merge request that this be the base for the 6.1 
branch. If you need to keep using the current functionality, we could 
keep it as a 6.1-legacy branch.

Regards,
Stefan.
