Payment reference defined by ISO 11649 that a creditor prints on an invoice so that incoming payments can be matched to it automatically; it was first used in the SEPA rulebook. It is the letters RF, two check digits and a reference of up to 21 letters or digits, 25 characters at most, and is usually printed in groups of four. The check digits work as in an IBAN: RF and the check digits are moved to the end, letters are replaced by numbers, and the result modulo 97 is 1.
