CAMT.053.001.02 - Statement

This format contains information about processed transactions and the balance on your account. It contains only information over closed book dates (end of day).

Format description CAMT.053 (PDF)

Why choose CAMT.053?

Advantages

  • The entire market is gradually switching to ISO20022 XML standards. Of all formats these formats will be most futureproof. Therefore you can expect less maintenance on your systems when using this format.
  • Richer data set. The format enables the use of new services in answer to future business needs
  • Possibility for detailed information. Every piece of information is supplied using its own XML tag.
  • Realisation of efficient end-to-end business processes. Initiation files are also XML files and contain the same information under the same tags.

 

Possible disadvantages

  • More complex implementation. Entirely new format. Possibly a bigger impact on your ERP- or software implementation.
  • Larger files due to more data. Check with your software vendor or IT-specialist if this poses any problems.

 

SWIFT MT940 Structured - Statement

This format contains information about processed transactions and the balance on your account. It contains only information over closed book dates (end of day). Format description SWIFT MT940 Structured (PDF)

 

Why choose SWIFT MT940 Structured? 

Advantages

  • If you already use a version of the SWIFT MT940 Structured the impact on your IT is probably less then switching to a completely new format like CAMT.053.
  • The SWIFT MT940 Structured is similar to the standard MT940 with the addition that SEPA specific information is added in the remittance information using structured code words.

 

Possible disadvantages

  • Limited room for information. The SWIFT MT940 Structured will eventually not be suited to deliver all information added in the future.

 

 


CAMT.052.001.02 – Intraday report

This format contains information about processed transactions on your account during the business day (intraday).

Format description CAMT.052 (PDF)

 

Why choose MT942S/CAMT.052?
