This specification provides the definition of the Banking status message (BANSTA) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.

A BANSTA message is sent by the receiver of a previously sent message to report on the status of processing of this original message. It indicates, at the application level, the acceptance or rejection of the message or the ability for the receiver of the message to execute or not the instructions received.

Throughout this document the term 'Originator' refers to the sender of the original message to which the BANSTA message is responding; likewise, the term 'Recipient' refers to the sender of the Status message sent in response to the message generated by the 'Originator'.

This message type may be applied for both national and international settlements. It is based on universal practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

This message type may be used to respond to any previously sent message.

It is a multi-purpose response providing status information based on universal practice and is not dependent of the type of business or industry.

• A BANSTA message may cover the response given to any previously sent message, such as a commercial or payment instruction, a request for information, etc. This message provides a means to report on errors and inconsistencies found in the original message at application level.
• It is not intended to report on syntax errors or to provide a non-repudiation response.
• This message may provide status information about execution on original multi-instruction messages such as the Multiple Payment Order message (PAYMUL) or Direct Debit message (DIRDEB).
• This message does not only apply to responses given to payment instructions. This message could be used for any response to a previously sent message when such response is needed and/or requested.
