Official definition

Bank Operation code specified in the message is not valid for receiver

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

What it means in practice

In a pacs.002 or pain.002 status report, a status reason code explains why a payment instruction was rejected (RJCT) or why it has another status. It sits in TxInfAndSts/StsRsnInf/Rsn/Cd.

The bank operation code or service level in the payment is not one the receiver accepts. In MT terms this is the field 23B code; in ISO 20022 it sits in payment type information.

What to do

  • Compare PmtTpInf (service level, local instrument, category purpose) with what the receiving bank or scheme publishes, then send a corrected payment.
