Environment

Resolution
- The information of who pay the Bank Charges is maintained in the tag 04 of the file (13-Initiator, 14-Sharing of costs and 15-Beneficiary) and comes after the country code FR and the Payment Method 0 (In this case, it is 0. It can be 1 or 2 depending on the payment method).
- The determination of who pay the Bank Charges depends on other criteria among which the Currency in which the payment is made.
- When the payment is made in EURO or USD, the Bank Charges Paid By determined in the file is always 14-Sharing of costs (even if the Initiator or the Beneficiary has been maintained or the field has been left blank).
- When the payment is made in a currency other than EURO or USD, the Bank Charges Paid By determined in the file is always 15-Beneficiary (even if Initiator or Sharing of cost has been maintained or the field has been left blank).
- 13-Initiator is never selected due to this payment format specifications.
