A Payments and Cash Management solution from

SWIFT/MT940
The MT940 Customer Statement Message is a standard SWIFT (Society for
Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) message for elec-
tronic banking statements. Many software packages are able to process
information stated in this international standard format. It is often called
an electronic banking statement.
This document provides companies with guidelines in such a way that
they can implement in their own systems a layout to be received from
ING Group via one of the available channels in the Netherlands, in this
case specifically ING Finstream, Girotel Zakelijk and Electronic Banking.
The present layout is based on SWIFT Standards FIN, Category 9, Cash
Management and Customer Status.

tents of these messages, please refer to the appropriate account holder

MT940. In the case that ING Bank acts as a third party bank, please con-
tact your account manager and ask for the appropriate information.

Remarks with regard to the document
This Message Implementation Guide (MIG) for the MT940-NL is intended
for computer departments of companies wanting to implement this
­message and also for their software suppliers.
The document focuses on the ING MT940 format description: this con-
tains the basis and the framework within which a Customer Statement
Message is defined by ING for the Dutch payment channels; you’ll find
the detailed format description in chapter 2, 3 and 4.
The annexes provide examples of customer statements (Annex A), a list
of the SWIFT character set (Annex B) and a list of all transaction codes
(Annex C).

Definition
The MT940 statement is sent by the account servicing institute to an
account owner or to a party authorised by the account owner to receive
the message. It is used to inform the account owner, or authorised party,
of the entries booked to the account, and to provide the owner with bal-
ance information on the account at a given point in time.

Principles & Basic assumptions

• a file can contain one or more messages
• a message covers one account
• a message covers one or more book days
• the user determines the file name

General comments:

• amount fields can be up to 15 positions (excluding the decimal ­separator,

comma)
• amount fields have no leading zeros, although amounts of less than one
currency unit do have a 0 before the decimal, for example: 0,89
• the number of decimal places depends on the currency, for example:

- EUR (Euro) 2 places

- TND (Tunisian Dinar) 3 places

The structure of an input message is as follows:

An input message for the SWIFT network is composed of up to 5 parts:
• basic header block
• application header block
• user header block (optional)
• text block
• trailers block

Header Text Trailer

Field a Field b

Component H1 Tag a: Tag b: Component T1

Component Hn Component a1 Component b1 Component Tn

The three header blocks and the trailers block are composed of compo-
nents which are not preceded by a field tag.
To assist legibility and printing, all records (except header & trailer) are
preceded by an identifier (tag) and closed with a CS2 (carriage return,
line feed, hex 0D0A).
