some BIC are not recognized - checkout not possible

[zvenson]

BIC is still a mandatory field. As some BIC are not recognized by the system as valid BICs - like the BIC of Postbank in Germany - BIC: PBNKDEFF - it would be great if BIC could not be a mandatory field. As far as i know the BIC can be calculated from the IBAN, right?
Is there a way to remove the mandatory field?
Thanks!

@zvenson I'm currently working on the possibility to disable the BIC field.

Please note that PBNKDEFF is only the short version of the BIC and normaly contains also the number of the branch. The correct BIC would be PBNKDEFFXXX.

DebitPayment also has this functionality implemented, that automatically appends "XXX" to the BIC-Code if only a BIC with 8 chars is inserted (see e00843f). Do you already use the latest version?
