MULTIBANCO REFERENCES

multibanco

Before you tell us what you need, you should know that there are two different types of multibanco references, both of which are marketed by LUSOPAY: multibanco references by check-digit and multibanco references per file.

The multibanco references by check-digit are composed of 9 digits, of which the first 7 are a pre-reference and the eighth and ninth digits are the check-digit. The check-digit is a verification code that results from a mathematical operation that includes the analysis of the figures of the entity, the pre-reference and the amount to be paid. Do not worry, you will not have to do anything! It is the multibanco system and LUSOPAY system that do this automatically and in a fraction of a second. Once the check-digit value has been determined, the 9-digit reference is complete (7 of the pre-reference plus the 2 of the digit check). LUSOPAY system will provide you with the entity, the 9-digit reference and the amount to be charged that then you can show your customer for payment. When your customer goes to an ATM or an homebanking, the customer can pay, and as long as he enters the right numbers, he'll be able to pay. If he miss a number, the ATM will give the error information to the payer and will not let him proceed with the payment. This reference type has no expiration date and is always payable. It only demands that the check-digit is correct and then the ATM system accepts the payment. It is the ideal reference for online commerce or situations where you want a reference that is immediately available to be paid.

The other type of reference, multibanco references per file, do not have pre-reference, nor check-digit. The reference is composed of 9 digits. These references are only payable in the ATM network after communication of the reference number, and may or may not be add an expiration date and may or may not be set an amount to be paid. That is, it can be defined that reference 123 456 789 has the amount of € 50.32 payable up to April 30, 2053, but we can also define that reference 123 456 789 may have any value between € 1.20 and € 99,999.99 and without a payment deadline. In the latter case, the payer will choose the amount he wants to pay inside that defined range. This is a useful reference type for situations in which the client is required to define the value of a donation or the amount to be charged to his current account (eg. telecommunications). It has the disadvantage of having to communicate this data to LUSOPAY and LUSOPAY to SIBS (onwer of multibanco network). The communication of the reference generation and its validity and value data is done in real time by API, but the process of communication from LUSOPAY to SIBS and from SIBS to the ATM network can take up to 2 business days to the reference that generated available for payment.
