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.

The end customer asked for the money back, for example a debtor claiming a refund of a direct debit within the period the scheme allows.

What to do

  • Contact the debtor about the claim; if the debt is owed, agree another way of payment.
