Segment Notes:

This segment is used to identify the financial institution and account number of the beneficiary.
The preferred way to identify a bank and its branch is in machine readable format using data elements 3433 and 3434.  When using C088 it is recommended that if data element 3433 is not used that 3432  be used,  and that when data element 3434 is not used that data element 3436 be used.

Example:
FII+BF+994-3277711:N GEISS'
The beneficiary is identified as being N Geiss with a bank account number of 994-3277711.   In this example the identity of the bank is contained in the account number.
