DEFINITION

This field contains any specific instructions for the reimbursing bank. It may also be used to indicate if pre-debit notification from the reimbursing bank to the issuing bank is required.

USAGE RULES

Non-adherence to URR must be specified in this field. In addition to the provision made in the message Scope, explicit mention of adherence to URR is recommended.

When used to indicate if pre-debit notification from the reimbursing bank to the issuing bank is required, the number and type, ie, banking or calendar, of days within which the issuing bank has to be notified should also be indicated.

The absence of specific instructions in this field concerning the claiming bank's charges implies that the reimbursing bank is authorised to pay those charges.

The structured line format may be used for bilaterally agreed codes.

Any code must be between slashes and must appear at the beginning of a line.

Narrative text must not begin with a slash and, if used, must begin on a new line and be the last information in the field.
