SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 3

5 1 INTRODUCTION This document sets out the SEPA rules for implementing the business-to-business (B2B) customer-to-bank direct debit ISO XML initiation message standards. The SEPA B2B Direct Debit Scheme Rulebook defines data sets which are implemented in the relevant ISO XML message standard as follows. SEPA Direct Debit Scheme Rulebook DS-03 Business Customer to bank Collection DS-06 Bank to Business Customer Direct Debit Information Reject based on DS-05 for the Bank to Customer space ISO XML Message Standards Customer Direct Debit Initiation (pain ) Statements/advice ISO XML standards are covered separately Reject Customer Payment Status Report (pain ) The use of customer-to-bank and bank-to-customer XML standards is recommended as are these Guidelines. 1.1 Coverage of these SEPA Implementation Guidelines The purpose of these SEPA Implementation Guidelines, hereafter referred to as the Guidelines, is to provide guidance on the use of the payment initiation Global ISO XML standards (the pain messages) in initiating SEPA B2B Direct Debit payments as defined in the SEPA B2B Direct Debit scheme rulebook and supplemented by processing requirements. The implementation of the messages and the compliance with these guidelines are strongly recommended. The Guidelines are fully aligned to the SEPA B2B requirements as defined in the Rulebook and identify message elements needed for initiating SEPA payments while recognising message elements that may be available for use in Additional Optional Services (AOS), as shown below. SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 4

6 Global ISO XML Message Standards Message elements from the ISO messages corresponding to Rulebook requirements Message elements that are mandatory in the ISO messages or needed for Processing Message elements from the ISO messages available for use by AOS within an EPC Governance framework Message elements from ISO messages not applicable to SEPA EPC Implementation Guidelines for SEPA B2B subset, identifying elements - to be used as defined in ISO - to be used with SEPA usage rules (from or completing the Rulebook) SEPA B2B Payments To be developed and documented by AOS Communities Not available for use in SEPA payments Figure 1 These Guidelines define the SEPA B2B Direct Debit Mandatory Subset 2 of the Global ISO XML standard that consists of message elements: required in the Rulebook as business requirements needed for processing by banks, clearing and settlement mechanisms and bank customers Elements needed for specific national regulatory requirements are not considered in these guidelines. They have to be dealt with at national level without being regarded as an AOS. These message elements define the SEPA B2B Direct Debit service and are denoted by yellow shading in the message structures given in the following chapters. Only these elements are further detailed with relevant SEPA B2B Direct Debit requirements, such as the use of the message element, its components or the values that must be used. Usage rules, for example, may indicate limits on the number of repetitions, or code value restrictions, while format rules may be used to indicate the allowable combinations of components of a message element. These Guidelines also recognise message elements and the usage rules in the ISO XML standard that may be available for use in an AOS, subject to a governance framework to be defined by the EPC. The definition and documentation of these message elements are a matter for the AOS communities involved. These message elements are denoted by white shading. Where there are message elements that do not apply to SEPA payments, these are denoted with red shading in the right-most column of the message structures. To date, few such message elements have been identified. 2 The SEPA Business-to-Business Direct Debit Mandatory subset is hereafter known as the SEPA B2B Direct Debit service. SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 5

7 1.2 Use of these Guidelines by the instructing and instructed parties 3 SEPA B2B Direct Debit payments are executed using messages only containing message elements defined as part of the SEPA B2B Direct Debit Subset (shaded yellow in Figure 2). Payments that include message elements that are defined and documented by AOS communities (shaded white in Figure 2) are considered as SEPA payments, but not as SEPA B2B Direct Debit payments. It is the responsibility of the instructing customer and instructed bank of the message to ensure that message elements defined for use in an AOS are only included in messages sent to AOS community members. The instructed bank receiving a message containing AOS-related message elements, but which is not a member of this AOS community, may ignore the information, that is, not use it for processing, nor forward it to the next party in the chain. The instructed bank, however, may reject the message for this reason. 1.3 Notation Conventions The Guidelines are presented in a similar format than the one used in the ISO XML standard. # SEPA Message root ++Sublevel 1 +++Sublevel Message root ++Sublevel 1 +++Sublevel Sublevel 3 SEPA Usage Rule(s) SEPA Format Rule(s) (e.g. Mandatory) (Yellow: that is part of the SEPA Core Service) SEPA Rulebook SEPA Usage Rule(s) ISO Length SEPA Length xs:choice (Attribute used in Rulebook) (e.g. Only SEPA is allowed.) (Yellow: that is part of the SEPA Core Service) SEPA Code restrictions SEPA SingleEuroPaymentsArea Payment must be executed following the Single Euro Payments Area scheme. 3 Instructing and instructed parties include CSMs. SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 6

8 Where: Message root ++Sublevel 1 +++Sublevel Sublevel 3 1.0n 0..1 Message root ++Sublevel 1 (White: that is not part of the Core Service but is available for use in a SEPA AOS) (Red: that is not to be used in SEPA Payments) Figure 2 Column 1 indicates the message element Index number specific to these Implementation Guidelines. As a result, the Index numbers differ from the ones used in the relating ISO Message Definition Report, PDF version. Components of message elements that are not allowed in SEPA payments or where no SEPA requirements are defined are not displayed in full as the ISO XML standard applies. Column 2 indicates the mandatory or optional status and the number of repetitions defined by the, e.g.: o 0..1 element is optional and may only be present once o 0..n element is optional with unlimited repetition o 1..1 element is mandatory and must be present exactly once o 1..n element is mandatory with unlimited repetition The displayed SEPA multiplicity may thus differ from the one of the ISO XML standard. When an element is shaded yellow, possible remaining ISO occurrences are available for use in an AOS. Empty elements are not allowed (i.e. a message shall not contain elements without content). Column 3 indicates the full path of an element where the last line contains the name of the message element as defined in the ISO XML standard. When an element contains sub-elements these are indented to the right and noted with a plus sign (+) per level. Column 4 specifies in italic characters the as additional rules to those specified in the ISO XML standard, which are shown in non-italic characters. o When defined in the Rulebook, the attribute is indicated by the attribute name and where applicable, the number, i.e., AT-nn. Those message elements are shaded yellow. o When the message element relates to inter-bank processing requirements, it is shaded yellow. o When the message element specified in the ISO XML standard is used for SEPA payments without change (regarding the definition and any usage rules), no specific SEPA Core requirements are provided and is shaded yellow. SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 7

9 o When the message element is specified in the ISO XML standard as optional, but is mandatory in SEPA Core requirements, this is specified as Mandatory and is shaded yellow. o When the message element is not available for use in SEPA payments, this is indicated with red shading. Note that these message elements are similarly not available for use in an AOS. o The SEPA length is indicated for every message element (if applicable), even if it is the same length as in the ISO XML standard. Column 4 may also indicate conditional relationships between components of a message element, for example, either component 1 or component 2 must be present, but not both (indicated, in empty lines without index number, in the column 4 with xs:choice ). In such case, the choice is to be made between the two following subelements, if both are shaded yellow. 1.4 Character Set The character set issue centres on the use of the full set of characters in the message elements. Two considerations are: While banks and their customers must be allowed to use the character set currently in use at national level, Banks and their customers throughout SEPA cannot be required to support the full character set used in SEPA countries. Therefore: The ISO XML messages allow for the full range of global language requirements (UTF-8) Banks and their customers must be able to support the Latin character set commonly used in international communication, as follows: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z / -? : ( )., ' + Space References, identifications and identifiers must respect the following: o Content is restricted to the Latin character set as defined above o Content must not start or end with a / o Content must not contain // s However, there may be bilateral or multilateral agreements to support one or more sets of characters beyond the Latin character set referred to above.

10 1.5 General Specifications BIC The BIC used to identify financial institutions (Agents in the ISO XML standards) may be either BIC 11 or BIC Identifier of the Creditor (AT-02) The Creditor is identified in the scheme by an identifier as defined below. In these Guidelines, this identifier is indicated in the ISO data element Creditor Scheme Identification. The creditor can be a legal entity, or an association that is not a legal entity, or a person. This identifier must be stable over time, to enable the Debtor and the Debtor Bank to come back to the Creditor for Refunds and complaints, and to check the existence of a valid Mandate at the presentation of Collections by the Creditor. The Creditor identifier has the attributes defined in the Rulebook under AT-02. This section also applies to AT-18 The identifier of the original Creditor who issued the Mandate. The data element is case and space insensitive. Format Rule: Positions 1 and 2 contain the ISO country code Positions 3 and 4 contain the check digits Positions 5 to 7 contain the Creditor Business Code. When the Creditor Business Code is not used, then the value is set to ZZZ. The Creditor Business Code cannot contain spaces. Positions 8 up to 35 contain the country-specific identifier Note: the calculation of the check digit requires the following preliminary steps: o Disregard positions 5 to 7 o Take the country-specific part, positions 8 to 35, and delete all non-alphanumeric characters o Add the ISO country code and 00 to the right-hand end o Convert letters to digits in accordance with conversion table 1 o Apply the check character system MOD (see ISO 7064) A = 10 G = 16 M = 22 S = 28 Y = 34 B = 11 H = 17 N = 23 T = 29 Z = 35 C = 12 I = 18 O = 24 U = 30 D = 13 J = 19 P = 25 V = 31 E = 14 K = 20 Q = 26 W = 32 F = 15 L = 21 R = 27 X = 33 Table 1 SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 9

11 1.5.3 Mandate Identification (AT-01 Unique Mandate Reference) This data element is case insensitive. For example: Mandate Identification 123AAa45678, 123aaA45678, 123aaa45678 and 123AAA45678 shall be considered identical SMNDA In the previous versions of the Guidelines, the acronym SMNDA was used to indicate Same Mandate with a New Debtor Agent. However, when the Creditor only receives the IBAN it will not always be possible to derive if an account change took place in the same or in another bank. To better accommodate this situation, the definition of the acronym SMNDA has been updated to indicate Same Mandate with a New Debtor Account. 1.6 Implementation of ISO XML rules This document should be read in conjunction with the ISO XML message standards.

12 2 RECOMMENDED CUSTOMER-TO-BANK AND BANK-TO-CUSTOMER MESSAGES The Guidelines prescribe, where relevant and dictated by the Rulebooks, usage rules for the EPC recommended customer-to-bank and bank-to-customer ISO XML messages. The message elements identified with yellow shading must be provided when mandatory. However, message elements known by the Creditor Bank may be filled in by the Creditor Bank in order to populate the subsequent inter-bank message The elements shaded yellow specify the SEPA B2B Direct Debit Requirements and are defined in the Rulebook, are required for inter-bank and customer-to-bank processing or are mandatory in the ISO message standards. 2.1 Business Customer to Bank Direct Debit Collection Dataset (DS-03) Use of Customer Direct Debit Initiation (pain ) The message is used to transport the SEPA B2B Collection instruction from the Creditor to the Creditor Bank. The message caters for bulk and single direct debit instructions. SEPA B2B Direct Debit C2B Implementation Guidelines Version 7.0 Approved January 2015 Page 11
