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 currency cannot be processed under the agreement in place, for example a currency the receiving bank does not clear, or a currency the account cannot hold.
What to do
- Ask the beneficiary which currencies their account receives, or pay in the account currency and let the beneficiary bank convert.
