Official definition

Payment instruction has been rejected.

Definition from the ISO 20022 External Code Sets, 2Q2026 (published 28 Aug 2026).

What it means in practice

A payment transaction status code is the value of TxSts in a pacs.002 or pain.002 status report and of the status in Swift gpi tracker messages (trck).

The payment was rejected. The status report carries a reason code in StsRsnInf/Rsn/Cd that says why, and nothing was settled for this leg.

What to do

  • Read the reason code and fix the cause, then send a new payment with a new reference and UETR. See the status reason codes.
