Official definition
Settlement of the transaction has failed.
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.
Settlement of the payment failed in the clearing or settlement system, for example because the settlement account lacked funds or the system rejected the settlement.
What to do
- Ask your settlement or treasury team to check the settlement account and the system messages for that cycle before you resend.
