How Do EFT Payments Work (EUROPEAN)

I've never used EFT before because it was not supported. Now I've set myself up with everything I need and have a question. I've looked around a bit and saw that in order to receive payments via EFT you only need a "bank account number". And that account number is not an IBAN. Where do I get this number, what's it called? ISR (inpayment slip with reference number) maybe?

What else do I need?

Thanks.

P.S. This question can maybe be answered by European users only. I'm not sure.

 

So you have a bank account and don't know your bank account number??

How do you check your balance or make deposits?

 

I have a new account in another country, but the details are not important. Where I live, my account number is my IBAN. Unfortunately I can't use my countries bank, but need it from somewhere else. So then I've been reading along on what information you need in adsense in order to get paid by EFT and have seen some posts where people say that you don't need IBAN, but only your "account number".

As you see I'm really confused now as to what information I need, because in my country IBAN IS MY ACCOUNT NUMBER.

 

For example how would a Swiss Account number look like? How many digits? Any letters?

 

does it not ask for

sort code ? should be something like 22-22-22

and account number 22334455
