Overview

pain.001 is the customer-side initiation message, replacing the MT 101 and myriad proprietary file formats. It supports batch payments (multiple transactions per payment information block), requested execution dates, and the same structured party/remittance model as pacs.008 — so data survives end-to-end without truncation.
