Branch Type in Bank Branch setup

Hi,

We need the usage of Branch Type field in Bank Branch setup. Following is our scenario:

If we had one supplier located in the US that supplies both a US based factory and a European based factory, the US based factory would want to pay by ABA or Chips but the European based factory would want to pay via SWIFT.  If the AP payment process picks up the payment type by the “Branch Type” field then how can we set up two different payment types?  Do we need to create two branches, one for ABA and one for SWIFT?  Will the system let use link the same supplier bank account to two different branches?
