}'Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GiroCode and why do I need it?
A GiroCode is a QR code according to the EPC069-12 standard that contains all data for a SEPA transfer (IBAN, amount, recipient, purpose). Your customers scan the code with their banking app and all payment data is transferred automatically - no manual typing required. This reduces errors, speeds up payments and drastically improves user experience.
Which IBANs and currencies are supported?
Currently German IBANs (DE) are supported with automatic checksum validation. For currencies we are more flexible: The API supports all 170+ ISO 4217 currency codes (EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, JPY, CNY, etc.) - not just EUR like many competitors. Perfect for international business.
What formats can I receive QR codes in?
The API supports three formats: SVG (vector-based, infinitely scalable, perfect for print), PNG and JPG (raster, 100-2000px adjustable). You can choose between Binary Output (default, direct file) and JSON Output (data URL for <img src=""> tags).
