Norwegian Giro and OCR-B font

A General Interbank Recurring Order (giro) is a payment system that operates like a credit transfer.

The last line on the giro uses the OCR-B font. Bankenes Betalingssentral (BBS) requires this to be used with optical character recognition (OCR) when handling payments from customers. For more information, see the BrukehÄndbok Indbetalingstjeneste (NO).pdf on the NETS.eu website.

The OCR-B-10 BT font is generally available from software vendors. In Business Central, Norwegian sales documents use the OCR-B-10 BT font from BitStream Inc. on the giro. For more information, see the fonts.com website at OCR-B-10 BT.

You can use any OCR-B font, but if other fonts are used, a Microsoft Certified Partner is required to update the sales documents. Contact your partner for more information.
