CAMT messages for incoming payment data

What is the CAMT format?

The CAMT format is used for messages that banks send to their customers. There are multiple versions, including:

 

  • camt.054  for credit and debit notifications linked to orange (BVR) payment slips.
  • camt.053 – the new electronic version of an account statement. It can be sent daily, weekly, or monthly.

 

 

 

When do you need to use CAMT files?

  • Do you want to receive grouped incoming payment files?
  • Do you regularly issue QR bills using a QR-IBAN?
  • Do you want to automate your accounting processes?
  • Do you use – or want to use – billing software to make your accounting easier?
 

Why switch to the new format?

  • camt.054. As soon as someone who owes you money makes a payment, you will receive a reference number for the transaction. Your software will process the transaction data, comparing it with the information on file, and update your accounting records accordingly. The CAMT format therefore allows for greater automation of your invoice processing.
  • camt.053. Receiving account statements in a single standardized electronic format makes it easier for you to manage your financial accounts. Your accounting software can process the account statements, comparing the information with your records, and reconcile your account accordingly. With this format, you save time and decrease the chance of making an accounting mistake.
