How You Group ISO 20022 SEPA and CGI Credit Transfer Messages

A credit transfer message is a payment initiation message format that is sent by an initiating party to an forwarding agent or debtor agent. It's used to request the movement of funds from a debtor account to a creditor.

This message format, which is known as CustomerCreditTransferInitiationV05 (pain.001.001.05), was approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO 20022 is a global standard for the development of all financial messages.

Oracle Fusion Payments provides two versions of the credit transfer message format; one for SEPA and one for CGI. Single Euro Payment Area (SEPA) is a system that provides a standardized process for credit transfers and a cheaper way for individuals and firms to make transactions within European member countries or regions. Common Global Implementation (CGI) is an organization that provides a forum that promotes wider acceptance of ISO 20022 as the common XML standard used between corporate enterprises and banks.

The ISO 20022 credit transfer message format has a three-level XML message structure as described in the following table.
