Bank Account Details for Organisations

    Overview

    Horsify lets your organisation store its bank account details securely, encrypted at rest. They're included automatically in confirmation emails and tax invoice PDFs when a rider chooses Bank Transfer, so riders have what they need to pay you without you chasing them.

    The fields follow your club's country. An Australian club is asked for a BSB and an account number; a New Zealand club is asked for a bank & branch and an account number & suffix. The same labels are used on the invoice the rider receives.

    Purpose: Enable organisations that accept bank transfer payments to provide riders with accurate payment details automatically, without manual follow-up, while keeping sensitive financial information securely encrypted and protected at rest.

    Who Uses This

    • Organisers (Admin): Add, edit, and remove bank account details from the organisation settings page.
    • Riders: Receive bank account details in confirmation emails and downloadable invoices when they choose bank transfer checkout.
    • Global Admins: Can view and manage bank details for any organisation.

    Key Features

    Secure Storage

    Bank details are stored securely encrypted. The database never holds plaintext bank account information. Details are encrypted on save and decrypted on read.

    Bank Details in Invoices

    When a registration uses bank transfer as the payment method, the organisation's bank details are included in the tax invoice PDF — bank name, account name, the routing code (BSB, or bank & branch), account number, and payment reference.

    Bank details are only shown on invoices for bank transfer payments — never for card or other payment types. They also only appear when both the routing code and the account number are filled in; a half-completed record is left off the invoice entirely rather than printed with gaps.

    Bank Details in Confirmation Emails

    When a rider selects bank transfer at checkout, the confirmation email includes the organisation's bank account details and payment reference.

    If the organisation has not configured bank details, the email shows: "Please contact the event organiser for bank account details."

    Payment reference:

    • Uses the organisation's configured payment reference if set
    • Falls back to a unique reference based on the registration ID

    Admin Management

    Organisers manage bank details through a dedicated modal accessible from the organisation detail page.

    Form field limits:

    • Bank Name: 100 characters
    • Account Name: 200 characters
    • Routing code (BSB / bank & branch): 10 characters
    • Account Number: 20 characters
    • Payment Reference: 100 characters

    A security notice is displayed: "Bank details are encrypted and only visible to organisation administrators."

    Validation

    New Zealand accounts are checked as you save — the bank & branch must be in BB-bbbb form and the account number and suffix in AAAAAAA-SSS form, and you'll be told if they aren't.

    Australian accounts are deliberately not checked. Australian clubs have been entering these details since long before the check existed, and validating them now would block a club from saving an untouched record. Please double-check your own BSB and account number — nothing else will.

      Account number your account number Account number & suffix — AAAAAAA-SSS (e.g. 0012345-00)

      Payment Reference (optional) — the reference you'd like riders to quote (e.g. your organisation name or an invoice prefix)

    5. Click Save

    6. Details are encrypted and stored securely

    How Riders See Bank Details

    1. Rider registers for an event and selects Bank Transfer at checkout
    2. Registration is confirmed with status message: "Registration confirmed — please complete bank transfer as per email instructions"
    3. Rider receives a confirmation email containing a styled bank details section
    4. Rider can also download a tax invoice PDF that includes the bank transfer details

    Removing Bank Details

    1. Open the Edit Bank Details modal
    2. Clear all fields
    3. Click Save — empty values are removed

    Important Notes

    ⚠️ Bank transfer registrations are confirmed immediately without waiting for payment. Monitor your bank account and follow up with riders who have not completed their transfer.

    💡 Setting a clear Payment Reference (e.g. your club name or event code) helps match incoming bank transfers to the correct registrations.

    💰 No platform fee is added to a bank transfer. Horsify only takes its fee on payments it actually processes, so a rider paying you directly is charged nothing extra — and if you have "pass the platform fee on" switched on, it isn't quoted on this payment method. The flip side is that the money never passes through Horsify, so reconciling it against the registration is yours to do.
