DirectDebit

A model containing the necessary information to request a direct debit from a debtor account for a creditor.

messageIdentifiersobject(MessageIdentifiers)required

Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.

messageIdentifiers.creationDateTimestring(date-time)required

The date and time at which the message was created, in senders local timezone or UTC. The date must be formatted as defined by date-time in RFC3339

messageIdentifiers.messageIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

A reference used to unambiguously identify the message between the sending and receiving party. Take note that this uniquely identifies a single message in a potentially multi-message exchange to complete a payment.

supplementaryDataobject(SupplementaryData)

A list of key-value pairs to support adding any supplementary/additional data to an Electrum Regulated Payments API message.

transactionIdentifiersobject(TransactionIdentifiers)required

Holds a series of identifiers to identify the transaction or an individual message that is part of a transaction.

transactionIdentifiers.endToEndIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

Unique identification, as assigned by the initiating party, to unambiguously identify the transaction. This identification is passed on, unchanged, throughout the entire end-to-end chain. Note: this is distinct from the UETR.

transactionIdentifiers.instructionIdentificationstring<= 35 characters

Unique identification, as assigned by an instructing party for an instructed party, to unambiguously identify the instruction. The instruction identification is a point to point reference that can be used between the instructing party and the instructed party to refer to the individual instruction. It can be included in several messages related to the instruction.

transactionIdentifiers.transactionIdentificationstring<= 35 characters

Unique identification, as assigned by the first instructing agent, to unambiguously identify the transaction that is passed on, unchanged, throughout the entire interbank chain. Usage: The transaction identification can be used for reconciliation, tracking or to link tasks relating to the transaction on the interbank level. Usage: The instructing agent has to make sure that the transaction identification is unique for a pre-agreed period.

transactionIdentifiers.uetrstring(UUID)required

Universally unique identifier to provide an end-to-end reference of a payment transaction. This identifier remains the same for all messages related to the same transaction.

If configured, Electrum will populate this value automatically, in which case at most 20 characters should be used as a reference to avoid truncation. Allowed characters are limited to printable ASCII U+0020 to U+007A (space through 'z').

returnTypestringrequired

Identifies the type of EFT payment return.

UNPAID: Occurs when a payment cannot be completed successfully by the homing bank such as due to insufficient funds or account closure. Note that it is impossible for Electrum to reject unpaids received from industry, so a negative payment return response from the partner will always result in a reconciliation exception for inbound unpaids.
DISPUTE: Occurs when there is a disagreement between the creditor and debtor regarding a payment and, after investigation with the assistance of their respective banks, the creditor's bank (in the case of a credit) or the debtor's bank (in the case of a debit) decides that the payment should be returned. As for unpaids, it is impossible for Electrum to reject disputes received from industry, so a negative payment return response results in a reconciliation exception for inbound disputes.
SYSTEM_ERROR_CORRECTION_REQUEST: Only expected for inbound use and represents the case where a bank from industry has experienced a technical issue that resulted in payments to or from the partner bank being reflected incorrectly (e.g. credits or debits were duplicated) and the industry bank is requesting that the partner bank attempt to correct the error. This case is notably different from unpaids and disputes in that (1) the system error correction request is expected to be best effort and may be rejected by the partner bank if the request cannot be honoured (e.g. due to insufficient funds) and (2) the bank from industry may retry system error correction requests for the same transaction on different days if an earlier request was rejected.
HOME_BACK: Occurs when a payment cannot be completed successfully at the operator such as a lack of information required to route to the correct homing bank. Note that it is impossible for Electrum to reject homebacks received from industry, so a negative payment return response from the partner will always result in a reconciliation exception for inbound homebacks.
