A model containing the necessary information to request a return of funds after settlement of credit transfer instructions or direct debit instructions.
NOTE: Neither creditorAccount nor debtorAccount are required fields, but creditorAccount is expected to be present for returns of direct debits, and similarly debtorAccount is expected to be present for returns of credit transfers.
NOTE: transactionIdentifiers on this message identifies the original transaction being returned, so transactionIdentifiers.instructionIdentification, transactionIdentifiers.transactionIdentification and transactionIdentifiers.endToEndIdentification all refer to the original instruction and not to the return. The return itself is identified by returnIdentification.
Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.
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
A list of key-value pairs to support adding any supplementary/additional data to an Electrum Regulated Payments API message.
Holds a series of identifiers to identify the transaction or an individual message that is part of a transaction.
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.
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.
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.
This model is the basic representation of a Party. It is expanded on depending on whether the party is a person or an organisation.
A code to identify a country, a dependency, or another area of particular geopolitical interest, on the basis of country names obtained from the United Nations (ISO 3166, Alpha-2 code).
The identification of a party, either a person or an organisation.
The name by which this party is commonly known in day to day use. For example, a shortening of their legal name or a nickname that they commonly use. This is "non-official". However, it is acceptable for this field to be set to the same as legalName.
Representation of an account for payment purposes. Note that at least one of identification or proxy is expected to be present.
A code allocated to a financial or non-financial institution by the ISO 9362 Registration Authority as described in ISO 9362 Banking - Banking telecommunication messages - Business identifier code (BIC)
An organisation identified by a code allocated to a party as described in ISO 17442 Financial Services - Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).
Name by which an institution is known and which is usually used to identify that institution
A unique identifier assigned to a company or organisation by a duly appointed authority within a country.
Representation of an account for payment purposes. Note that at least one of identification or proxy is expected to be present.

Provides a reference to the direct debit mandate signed between the creditor and the debtor.
Note: This model is not relevant to the ZA_EFT scheme. Electrum will not process these fields for EFT payments (e.g. tracking days are not honoured for EFT).
Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.
Contains key elements related to the original transaction that is being referred to.
Designates which scheme a payment return is associated with and describes scheme-specific information for the return.
Identifies the scheme used for the payment
ZA_RTC: South African Realtime Clearing scheme.ZA_RPP: South African Realtime Payments Platform scheme.ZA_EFT: South African Electronic Funds Transfer scheme.ZA_AC: South African Authenticated Collections scheme.ZA_RMS: South African Registered Mandate Service scheme.CBPR_PLUS: Cross-Border Payments and Reporting Plus.TCIB: Transactions Cleared on an Immediate Basis scheme.
A list of ReturnReasonInfo values providing detailed reason information for the return.
Unique identification, as assigned by an instructing party for an instructed party, to unambiguously identify the returned transaction.
Note: the instructing party is the party sending the return, and not the party that sent the original instruction being returned. This identification is therefore distinct from the identifiers in transactionIdentifiers, which all identify the original transaction rather than the return.
This field is optional in both directions. On an inbound return it carries the identifier assigned by the sending party. On an outbound return it may be omitted, in which case Electrum assigns a value that meets the scheme's requirements.
Schemes may constrain the format. In the ZA_AC scheme the value takes the form RTN/<4 alphanumeric characters>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<9 digits>, for example RTN/ABCD/2026-09-23/000000001, and must form a contiguous daily sequence, so a value supplied here has to satisfy both.
A valid, active currency code as defined in ISO 4217 indicating the currency of the amount.
The payment amount in the denomination of the indicated currency, in the format '

| JPY | 10.0 | ✓ | Represents 10 Japanese Yen. |
