Step 15: Accept the confirmation and notify Sender

When the Destination PSP accepts the pacs.008 payment instruction, they will respond with a pacs.002 status report, which will be sent back to Nexus. Nexus will forward the pacs.002 to the Source IPS, who will forward it to the Source PSP.

The pacs.002 will have one of the following status codes (found in /Document/FIToFIPmtStsRpt/TxInfAndSts/TxSts/):

• ACCC: the Destination PSP has accepted the payment and credited the Recipient’s account

  • The Source PSP should inform the Sender that the payment has successfully reached the Recipient

• PNDG: the Destination PSP has received the payment, but has not yet credited the Recipient’s account (for Normal Priority Payments only)

  • The Source PSP can (optionally) inform the Sender that the payment has been received by the Destination Bank but is still being processed and has not yet successfully reached the Recipient

• RJCT: the Destination PSP payment has been rejected. A reason code may provide further information. In the Source IPS, any reservation of funds against the Source PSP has been cancelled and any movement of funds from the Source PSP to the Source Settlement Account Provider has been reversed.

  • The Source PSP should inform the Sender that the payment could not be made.

• BLCK: the Destination PSP has accepted the payment but blocked the funds as a result of their validations. The funds will be released to local law enforcement.

  • The Source PSP treat the BLCK as ACCC and should inform the Sender that the payment has successfully been processed.

If the ACCC/BLCK message is received, the Sender should be notified (possibly through a notification or update on the app/online banking, or via an update to their statement).

Most payments should complete in 60 seconds
