1. Introduction

The Slovak Payments legislation[1] obliges the payment service providers to notify their payment services consumers about transactions realised on their accounts and defines the minimal mandatory set of attributes to be included in these notifications. The most typical way to comply with this legislation is to provide the client with a transaction statement that covers all required information for a given time period. These statements are being generated either periodically (forming a continuous sequence) or ad-hoc on a customer’s request.

While the legislation defines the “minimal information content” of a statement, it lacks any further instructions regarding internal statements structure and/or format. As a result, a wide range of proprietary implementations emerged on the market, varying both in the internal content and format and in the delivery logistics. While this variety poses no problems for a retail customer, it complicates the statements processing and reconciliation within corporations that typically have to deal with statements from a multitude of accounts in different banks.

On a global scale, the need for standardization of bank statements increased with the growing use of electronic statements and the related prospect of their automated processing. Since 2004, the ISO 20022 standard – in particular the camt.053 schema – defines an international standard for cash account statements structure. All information relevant can be found at www.iso20022.org.

Since 2002, the European Payments Council (further referred as “EPC”) defines rulebooks and standards that constitute the Single European Payment Area (further referred as “SEPA”). All SEPA interbank and bank-to-customer messages were based on the ISO 20022 standard. In October 2009, SEPA issued a “recommendation” to use the camt.053 schema for bank-to-customer currenct account transaction statements. All information regarding EPC and SEPA can be found at http://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/index.cfm.

As in many other countries, the final specification of the national standard for cash account electronic statements was developed under the supervision of the Slovak Banking Association. A close cooperation with the Czech Banking Association in specifying the czech national standard, on which the slovak standard is based, ensured further harmonization of both standards to the benefit of all legal or corporate entities with organisational units in both countries. On top of that, the specification was repeatedly being consulted with experts that were participating on equivatent projects in other countries. This document is the result of this process.

The use of this standard is not obligatory by any part of the Slovak legislation; however, it is highly recommended due to its cost-reduction effects for all parties involved.

1.1. Document Structure

The document is divided into three sections:

1.  Description of logical attributes that make up a statement (Chapter 2.1). An XPath for the attribiute “location” within the XML file is provided for each logical attribute.

2.  Structure of the XML file (Chapter 2.2). The structure of this chapter reflects the structure of the camt.053 schema; on each level, following information is provided:

·  an XPath to the described node

·  apicture of the node structure

·  atable with information about the node attributes and sub-elements with following columns:

·  ISO index: the ISO ID of the node according to the ISO 20022 camt.053 MDR (see chapter 4.1.1).

·  ISO name: the ISO name of the node according to the ISO 20022 camt.053 MDR (see chapter 4.1.1).

o  one or more “+” signs before the node name signalize that the node is a sub-node of the first preceding node with one-less “+” signs”. The number of „+“ signs denotes the level of node „indentation“ compared to the node decribed by the particular chapter.

·  XML Tag : the name of the XML tag according to the ISO 20022 camt.053 MDR (see chapter 4.1.1).

o  the XML tag name is stated withouth the „<“ and „>“ characters.

·  Cardinality describes the allowed node cardinality:

o  [x..y] states that the node is present aminimum of x and amaximum of y times, e.g.:

§  [0..0] means that the node is forbidden

§  [0..1] means that the node is optional

§  [0..n] means that the node can be present any number of times

§  [1..1] means that the node is mandatory

§  [1..n] means that the node is mandatory but can be repeated any number of times

§  [3..3] means that the node is present exactly three times

·  Data type describes the node data type

o  If the data type field is striked-through with two diagonal lines, the node data type is complex and its individual parts are further described either on the next table rows (in which case they are indented by an additional „+“ sign) or in aseparate chapter (referenced in the last table column).

·  Rules Lists rules and constraints on top of the ISO 20022 camt.053 MDR. The rules can constrain:

o  cardinality (e.g. [0..n] -> [0..1])

o  data type (e.g. String [35] -> String [5])

o  value (e.g. „only „Yes“ a „No“ values allowed“)

o  semantics (e.g. „for card transactions, this is the card number“)

1.2. Character set

Following characters are ensured to be correctly recognised and passed on, unchanged, throughout the entire end-to-end chain:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

/ - ? : ( ) . , ' +

Space

Other characters might be removed or replaced if not recognised by the system.

1.3. Legend

The national standard regulates only asubset of the elements available within the ISO schema. To clearly distinguish the elements that the standard defines as mandatry from the optional (but still regulated) ones and finally from those it prohibits, following colors are used for the apropriate document sections:

·  elements prohibited by the national standard

·  elements that the standard allows but somehow regulates

·  elements that the standard doesn’t regulate
