Official definition

Invalid date (eg, wrong settlement date)

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

What it means in practice

In a pacs.004 payment return, a return reason code explains why funds that were already settled are being sent back. It sits in TxInf/RtrRsnInf/Rsn/Cd, and bank statements (camt.053, camt.054) repeat it in RtrInf/Rsn/Cd.

A date in the payment is wrong or missing, typically the interbank settlement date or the requested execution date (a date in the past, a holiday, or too far ahead).

What to do

  • Check the dates against the currency's business-day calendar and the scheme's cut-off rules, then send a corrected payment.
