    Field Description

    Account Prefix

    Enter the prefix for the account number.

    For example, if the card rule dictates that all account numbers start with 01013 and the Account Length is always 16, the following configuration allows you to enter the last digits (starting with the first non-zero digit), and the account number is concatenated as Prefix + padding zeroes + user input = where the number of padding zeroes ensures that the account length is correct.

    This image displays the iCare Driver Properties, notably the Account Prefix number.
