The mapping between these numbers in AqBanking and accounts in GnuCash is done 
by the application. 

So if you want to use other identifiers to be mapped to AqBanking's account 
numbers/ids AqBanking won't keep you from doing that.

If you let AqBanking ask the bank for a list of accounts (and the bank 
supports that) it will report the account ids in exact the way the bank sends 
them, and usually that is the exact form in which the bank expects them back 
when asking for transaction statements. That's all AqBanking knows about your 
accounts.

BTW: Coming from Europe where in most countries accounts can be uniquely 
identified by a bank routing number commonly known to the customer plus account 
number AqBanking internally uses account *numbers* itself.


Regards
Martin
