Import Payments via HBCI

With the Homebanking Computer Interface (HBCI) you can access your online bank account via the PIN-TAN as well as the smart-card procedure. Connection properties, HBCI contacts, and related bank accounts are managed by third-party software DDBAC. For each bank account the current account statements can be downloaded.

In the DDBAC software, the online accounts are linked to the HBCI contacts. To connect to an online bank account, you must create an HBCI contact and complete the connection details for that contact. Each HBCI contact can contain multiple online bank accounts, and you can create multiple HBCI contacts.

Compatibility: DDBAC 5.10.18.0 is compatible with >= pixi 24.11

The number of payments to be retrieved can be defined in the Control Center setting HBCI - Max. The max number of retrieved Payments can be defined according to the conditions of your bank.
