Clearing codes

Clearing codes have to be in specific, country dependant format. They always start with country's payment system prefix (5 characters, referenced as code in the ISO's table) and are followed by varying number of digits/letters (referenced as bank identifier in ISO's table).

 

There are two ways for banks to use clearing code - to specify code and bank identifier in different or in same element.

If they are specified in the same element, both parts are given in MmbId element.

<FinInstnId>
  <ClrSysMmbId>
    <MmbId>NZNCC020368</MmbId >
  </ClrSysMmbId>
</FinInstnId>

 

If they are separated, Code is given in Cd and identifier in MmbId:
