Question

Bank details in invoice - part of account number then shows as stars once sent to client.

When an invoice is generated it looks like this:

  BACS:
  Pay Fred Bloggs
  (Business)
  Starling Bank
  Sort Code: 01-02-03
  Account: 12345678
  Please use invoice number as reference.

 

All above is as it should be - but once it is sent out to the customer, the pdf invoice looks like this:

  BACS:
  Pay Fred Bloggs
  (Business)
  Starling Bank
  Sort Code: 01-02-03
  Account: ****5678
  Please use invoice number as reference.

>> It replaces the first four digits of bank account with ****. so new customers can't make a payment.

I have no idea why that has started to happen all of a sudden. Has anyone had this issue at all?  Be interesting to know why it is happening and how to correct it.  Many thanks.
