1 Introduction Handelsbanken implementation guidelines will describe the contents of cross-border payments in Handelsbanken UTLI format. In the first part of the document you will find a description of the format. After the format description you will find country specific information. It is currently possible to make cross-border payments from Handelsbanken: China Great Britain Norway Denmark Hong Kong Poland Estonia Latvia Singapore Finland Lithuania Sweden France Luxembourg USA Germany Netherlands Other banks Payments can also be made from accounts held with other banks. The service is based on Handelsbanken having an agreement with the account holding bank in order to execute payments. Please contact your debtor agent for information regarding how to state your debtor account. All component services within outgoing payments must have a separate agreement with Handelsbanken. Generally, it is important that the records are in the order described below. If the records are in a different order or if a mandatory record is missing, the entire section will be rejected. This description is unique for Handelsbanken services and can therefore only be used in co-operation with Handelsbanken. More information about cross-border payments can be obtained from your local branch office. UTLI format Cross-border payments Page 4 (33)

This continues until the monitoring period has expired. Anything remaining of the amount of the credit note on the final monitoring date is shown through the online banking services under: Cross-border payments/ Query and delete / Status: rejected. Unused and partially used credit notes are shown through the online banking services under: Cross-border payments/ Query and delete / Status: pending. Credit notes can t be sent in files including payments with equivalent amount. UTLI format Cross-border payments Page 9 (33)

In the field for currency you specify the currency in which you want to send the payment. The SEK amount will be recalculated to the other currency according to current exchange rate. Files with payments in equivalent amount can t include regular invoice payments or credit notes. Please note that payments in equivalent amount are only applicable for payments from SEK accounts in Handelsbanken Sweden. 2.2.6 MONITORING DATE, CREDIT NOTES Monitoring date can be indicated in ordering party record, RT 0, or in credit note record, RT 5.

4.2.2 BENEFICIARY S BANK The beneficiary bank is to be identified preferably with BIC and when requested National bank ID. These should be entered consecutively without spaces, regardless of how they are written on the payment invoice. It is optional to identify the beneficiary bank if beneficiary account is stated as IBAN. In some countries the beneficiary bank may not have a BIC of its own. In these cases, a National bank Id can be specified and must be entered with no spaces and start with a two letter clearing national system code, see table below. Country Length of ID Description Australia AU + 6 digits Australian Bank State Branch Code (BSB) Canada CC + 9 digits Canadian Payments Association Payment Routing China CN + 12 digits CNAPS code Hong Kong HK + 6 digits Hong Kong National Clearing Code (CHATS) Russia RU + 9 digits Russian Central Bank Identification Code South Africa SC + 6 digits Sort Code USA FW + 9 digits ABA/Fed Wire Routing Number 4.3 Reference/Message to the beneficiary This is a free field where the remitter can enter an invoice number, a customer number and other references as well as information that may be needed by the beneficiary. If more space than the 25 positions available in RT 6 is required, you can continue to write references/messages after RT 7 in new payment records with amount fields set to zero. Every specific payment record must be followed by a central bank record. This means reporting every other record as a payment record or a central bank record. Thus the first payment record in the invoice will contain both the amount and the first reference field. 4.3.1 MESSAGE TO BENEFICIARIES IN CHINA For payments in CNY to beneficiaries in Mainland China the first line in the message to the beneficiary must contain one of the following codes: /CGODDR/ - indicating cross-border goods trade /CSTRDR/ - indicating cross-border service trade /CCTFDR/ - indicating cross-border capital transfer /CCDNDR/ - indicating charity donation /COCADR/ - indicating other current account transactions 4.3.2 HANDELSBANKEN POLAND It is mandatory to enter a message to the beneficiary for cross-border payments from accounts in Poland.
