Bank referencesCopy Anchor Link

bankReference is AcctSvcrRef, else ClrSysRef, from Citi's status report on the payment. bankReferences lists every reference Citi sent, keyed by Citi's field name: AcctSvcrRef, ClrSysRef and StsId, as Citi sends them.

On your Citi statement: the line shows a different Citi reference. Find the payment by your customerReference.

What the names mean:

• AcctSvcrRef: Citi's own reference for the transaction.
• ClrSysRef: the clearing system's reference.
• StsId: the id of Citi's status entry.

A rejected payment keeps the references from the report that rejected it.

A completed payment sent as a file returns:

  "bankReferences": {
    "AcctSvcrRef": "01720322200000001"
