Identity Finder will locate Bank Account Numbers without requiring you to provide any personal information. It uses the AnyFind proprietary technology to find series of numbers that represent bank accounts. If you want to search for a Bank Account Number containing letters, you should add your specific bank account to the Unique Identity Include List. If you want to search for only a specific Bank Account Number, you should disable AnyFind and add your bank account to the Unique Identity Include List. Bank Account Numbers can be used to gain access to your financial information and conduct transactions on your behalf, so searching for this Identity Match Type is of critical importance.
If you are using the Startup Wizard, you can select or deselect the "Bank Account Numbers" option and you can choose to add specific, unique Bank Account Numbers to the search.
If you are not using the Startup Wizard, you can enable or disable AnyFind searching for Bank Account Numbers by clicking the "Bank Account" button on the What to Search For ribbon. When the button has an orange highlight, it is enabled and Identity Finder will use AnyFind searching. You can also Add a Bank Account Number to the Unique Identity Include List via the "Include List" page of the "Identity Finder Personal Information File" dialog box (you can open this dialog box by pushing the Add/Remove Information button on the What to Search for ribbon). Within that dialog box, when Bank Account Number is selected in the "Identity Type" drop down box, you can check or uncheck the "Enable Automatic Search for Bank Account" to change your AnyFind settings for Bank Account Numbers. The ribbon button will update automatically to reflect any changes you make here.
Note: When entering a unique Bank Account Number, it must be entered as 5-30 letters, numbers, dashes or spaces but without any other characters. For example "PB-12345" (without the quotes) is valid. However "#PB-12345" (without the quotes) is invalid because it contains a number sign (#).
