Pain.008 in XMLdation's environment

XMLdation service has a validation tool which can be used for checking the correctness of payments, including the bank and service specific rules. Although pain.008 message is part of the ISO 20022 standard, banks tend to have additional rules and recommendations which have to be obeyed before a bank is able to accept the payment. For this reason we have built a validation tool which has validation rules defined together with several banks.

Banks and payment types we currently support can be seen from our store page. In addition, please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
