Prepare your payment files for P27

Disclaimer

Due to changed conditions for P27’s operations, the company withdrew its clearing licence application from the Swedish Financial Services Authority.

P27 and the owner banks will reassess the initiative’s objective and scope.

The owner banks take full responsibility for the Swedish payment infrastructure and the current payments services will continue unaffected.

We still recommend you to move to ISO 20022 XML as this will mean you are prepared for upcoming changes and can benefit from a standardized global file format.

You can continue to follow our guidelines for how to implement ISO 20022 XML, as the guidelines follow new standards for Nordic payments and are not tied directly to P27.

More information will follow.


On this site, changes in formats followed by P27 will be presented. Here you can read more about how you are affected by the transition to ISO 20022 XML, how to prepare and validate your payment files for P27 and see the most frequently asked questions about ISO 20022 XML.

This site will continuously be updated to help you prepare your payment files for P27. 
Latest update 2 May 2023

How are you affected by the transition to ISO 20022 XML
The transition to ISO 20022 XML is related to the new P27 clearing. Only ISO 20022 XML will support all features that the P27 clearing enables. Therefore, we encourage all customers to switch to the ISO 20022 XML format. However, the exact changes you need to make depend on how you initiate Swedish domestic payments today and how you wish to do so going forward.

How do I validate my payment files?

If you want to validate your pain.001.001.03 payment initiation files as part of the transition to XML, you can use our file validation tool.

  • Do I need to change file format?

    If you initiate Swedish domestic payments via:

    • ISO 20022 XML you can continue to use the format.
    • EDIFACT you can continue to use the format with limited support for new features.
    • Danske Bank formats you can continue to use the format with limited support for new features.
    • MT101 you can continue to use the format with limited support for new features.

    • Bankgirot's formats for Danske Bank supplier- and salary payments you must switch to ISO 20022 XML. (Customers using this service CAN see payment details in the List of outgoing payments screen in District when sending payment files to Danske Bank)
  • How do I ensure that my Swedish salary payments in ISO 20022 XML format are confidential?

    A salary payment file in ISO 20022 XML is not confidential by default. This means that all the users on the agreement with mandate to view the account can to see the salary payments in District.

    If you want to ensure that your Swedish salary payment files are confidential and only District users with mandate to view confidential payments can see the salary payments, then you have two options:

    1. Mark the file confidential in the file registration in District before you send the file in District.
      Go to “Files” -> “Settings” -> “Settings for Files to the bank” 
      Click on “Create file registration”
      Add a name i.e. Salary
      Tick the boxes for “Active” and “Confidential” and click on “Save”



      When you upload your salary payment file, remember to select the file registration for salary payments.



    2. Add a ‘CONF’ tag in the salary payment file – see examples below. Please ask your ERP vendor for assistance.

      </PmtTpInf>
  • Which payment date should I use for salary payments in ISO 20022 XML format?

    The payment date in <ReqdExctnDt> should be the date for when the beneficiary’s account will be credited.  The salary file must be sent to the bank at the latest at 12.30 the banking day before the payment date written in <ReqdExctnDt>.

    Ask your ERP-vendor how to set this up correctly in your system.
  • How do I bulk debet my payments in ISO 20022 XML format?

    When you send an ISO 20022 XML file to Danske Bank, then you can decide if you want your payments to be debited as single transactions or as a bulked amount. 
    To bulk debit a payment file, then the file must be structured with one debit transaction and two or more underlying credit transactions.

    Example:
    Single transactions (more <PmtInf> tags)

    <PmtInf> Start payment 1
    <DbtrAcct> Sender account payment 1
    <CdtTrfTxInf> Start credit payment 1
    <CdtrAcct> Beneficiary's account payment 1
    </CdtTrfTxInf> End credit payment 1
    </PmtInf> End payment 1
    <PmtInf> Start payment 2
    <DbtrAcct> Sender account payment 2
    <CdtTrfTxInf> Start credit payment 2
    <CdtrAcct> Beneficiary's account payment 2
    </CdtTrfTxInf> End credit payment 2
    </PmtInf> End payment 2


    Bulked transaction (One <PmtInf> tag and more <CdtTrfTxInf> tags)
    <PmtInf> Start bulk debit
    <DbtrAcct> Sender account bulk debit
    <CdtTrfTxInf> Start credit payment 1
    <CdtrAcct> Beneficiary's account payment 1
    </CdtTrfTxInf> End credit payment 1
    <CdtTrfTxInf> Start credit payment 2
    <CdtrAcct> Beneficiary's account payment 2
    </CdtTrfTxInf> End credit payment 2
    </PmtInf> End bulk debit

    Please reach out to your ERP vendor to set up your system to fit your needs

    Appendix B: Use of 2.3 BtchBookg gives detailed information about the <BtchBookg> tag and bulk debitering rules.

  • Which ISO 20022 XML reconciliation files can I get?

    Danske Bank supports the following reconciliation file in ISO 20022 XML formats:

    • camt.052.001.02 - Account report
    • camt.053.001.02 - Account statement with balance
      The file contains incoming and outgoing transactions including end of day balance
    • camt.054.001.02 - Debit credit notification - transaction list
      The file has several options:
      • Both Debit and Credit transactions
      • Only Debit transactions  (All debit transactions on the account or only debit transactions from ISO 20022 XML payment files)
      • Only Credit transactions (All credit transactions on the account)

    Please note! Bankgiro Recivebles (BGI) can be included  in CAMT053 (extended) and CAMT054.

    You can find more information about the reconciliation files here.

    To order the reconciliation files, you need to contact: ints@danskebank.com (Please provide account number, file type, UserID)

  • Which options do I have in a pain.002.001.03?

    For each pain.001.001.03 file, Danske Bank will create one or more pain.002.001.03 files (PSR)

    • Feedback on file level
    • Feedback on payment level

    Per default, a PSR on file level will be created and if any payment is rejected, then a PSR on payment level will be created too.

    In the pain.001.001.03 file, you can choose which type of PSR you want.

    Example:
    If you do not want any feedback on payment level, then the <Authstn> tag can be used.
    <Authstn>
    <Prtry>Feedback=XI</Prtry>
    </Authstn>

    Danske Bank offers several types of PSRs on payment level – see Appendix A: Use of 1.3 Authstn

  • How do I use invoices and credit notes in my domestic Swedish payments in ISO 20022 XML?

    If you want to include invoices and credit notes in your domestic Swedish payments in ISO 20022 XML format, then you need to follow some rules:

    • Only Swedish Bankgiro payments and Account transfers support invoices and credit notes

    • Invoices and credit notes must have the same date
    • OCR number cannot be used
    • Amount must be higher than 0 (zero) 
    • Credit notes will no longer be monitored
