      Where there are emails being sent to a back office inbox this will ensure the account number is in the email subject where this is true. 
      DirectDebitMandateEnabled

      Where this is true a dedicated Direct Debit mandate will be added as a page within the form. Pre-populated from the data in the form already.

      BankAccountHolderNameMaxLength

      This is the maximum length of the account holder's name. This setting exists because of the fact that Northgate cannot holder name's greater than 20 characters. 
      ShowWhoAreYouGender

      Enables you to turn on/off the gender option.
      YearEndEarlyAdjustment

      This setting is used to make the form behave, during the end of year period in March, as if it is already in April so that the DD is set up for the new year.

      E.g. On March 10th you've run end of year. You want direct debits to be set up only in the new year. Because there are 22 days until first of April, you'd set the setting to 22. 
      DirectDebit-ConfirmIdentity

      When this is set to true a check box is added for the customer to confirm they are legally allowed to set up direct debits etc. for the account.
