Yes. If your legal name or address changes, edit the profile and subsequent files will pick it up.

Does profile data appear in the SEPA XML?

Yes. It forms the InitgPty/CdtrSchmeId block of the file.

What are company profiles?

A company profile stores the fixed data of the originator or creditor (VAT, IBAN, SEPA identifier, address) so you don’t have to re-enter it for each conversion.

TL;DR

One profile = one VAT + one bank account + one SEPA identifier.
If you have several accounts or suffixes, create one profile per combination.
Each conversion is linked to a profile.

Profile data

Legal company name.
VAT number.
SEPA identifier (originator ID and/or CID).
Sender IBAN.
Postal address (optional, recommended for B2B).

Conclusion

Set up your profiles once and reuse. If you manage several companies, one account is enough.
