0 How are MT940s constructed?

MT940 Customer Statement Messages consist of Fields or Tags Each field or tag has a specific function and can only contain
denoted by a number between two colons. For example, :20: is certain kinds of data. Some of the fields within the MT940
known as Field 20 or Tag 20. statement message can be divided into further sub-fields.

Field:20: Transaction Reference Number

• This field contains a unique reference that we generate to unambiguously identify your message. This is the reference to quote if you
have a query about a specific statement.
• For GBP accounts, this reference always begins with STL; for other currencies, it begins with CFC. These letters are followed by the day
within the year, from 001 through to 365 (or 366 in leap years). For example, STL1169999900000 indicates a GBP statement for
26 April and CFC1169999900000 indicates a non-GBP statement for 26 April in a non-leap year.

Field:25: Account Identification

• This field contains the account number of the statement. It always contains 14 digits.
• Only one account is reported within a single statement.
• For GBP accounts, use all 14 digits to identify your account. For other currencies, use only the last 8 digits.

Field:28C: Statement Number/Sequence Number

• Where there are a lot of entries to report since the last statement for a particular account, the information may be split across several
messages, as there is a maximum size for messages.
• Each statement is given a sequential statement number and each message within the statement is given a sequence number. Sorting the
sequence numbers within each statement number will allow you to be certain that you are viewing all your information in the right order.
• For example, if statement 110 contained a lot of transactions, it might be split across three messages. The field 28C in these three
messages would contain 110/1, 110/2 and 110/3.
• Using this sequencing in combination with the first opening balance and the final closing balance (described below), you will be certain
that you have the entire statement for this account.
• For GBP accounts the statement number is reset to 1 on 1st January each year.

Field:60a: Opening Balance

• This field can appear as either :60F: or :60M:
• It contains a C or D for credit or debit, the date of the balance as yymmdd, the currency code and the balance amount with a comma
as the decimal separator. For example, C070426GBP99,9 indicates a credit balance of GBP99.9 on 26 April 2007.
• :60F: indicates that this is the first opening balance for your statement. It corresponds to a sequence number of 1 in field 28C.
• :60M: indicates that this is an intermediate opening balance because your statement for this account is made up of more than one message.
• The balance amount in this field will always be the same as that reported in field 62 of your previous statement message for this
account. For example, if your statement is split across 3 messages, the first message will contain field 60F. The next 2 messages will
contain field 60M with a value that is the same as that of field 62M of the previous message.

Repeating lines of:

Field:61: Statement Line
• For every transaction or entry on your account, there will be a field 61. If there is no field 61 within the statement, this indicates that
there is no activity to report in this statement for your account.
• This field is divided into subfields, which are fully described later.
