Remittance Types

The Payments API allows the customer to pass a variety of different remittanceType values in the Add Payment API request body for US ACH payments. This field is optional and if left blank, Convera will choose the appropriate remittanceType to send with the creation of the NACHA file. The acceptable values and their definitions are below:

RemittanceType	Description	Format
CCD	Corporate Credit or Debit – used for standard B2B payments into a corporate account	US domestic ACH. One addenda record, up to 80 characters using the `payment.paymentReference` field. Valid only for `beneficiary.type = Business` and `beneficiary.countryCode = US`.
CTX	Corporate Trade Exchange – similar to CCD but allows additional remittance data to be passed with the payment	US domestic ACH. Up to 9,999 addenda records passed in `payment.remittanceData.ref`. Each `ref` may not exceed 80 characters (799,920 characters total). Valid only for `beneficiary.type = Business`, `beneficiary.countryCode = US`, and when `remittanceData` contains at least one `ref`.
PPD	Prearranged Payment and Deposit entry – used for B2C payments into a consumer account	Addenda not supported. Valid only for `beneficiary.type = Individual` and `beneficiary.countryCode = US`.
IAT	International ACH transaction – payments coming from or used outside the US	Full beneficiary address required. One addenda supported up to 80 characters in `payment.paymentReference`. Valid only when `beneficiary.countryCode != US` or when using `originatingFI` payment models.

🚧
Specifying Correct Remittance Types
If an incompatible remittanceType is specified (e.g. IAT when the payment is not originating internationally), then the payment may be rejected.
