What CPUC means

For a payment the creditor collects in cash: the creditor has picked the cash up.

CPUC exists for payments paid out in cash rather than to an account, such as a remittance the creditor collects at a bank branch or a cash agent. There is no account to credit, so CPUC plays the part ACCC plays for an account payment: it confirms the money reached the creditor. Companies’ payment files rarely contain cash payouts, so many treasury teams never see it.

Where CPUC appears

A status report answers a payment file (pain.001 or pain.008) at up to three levels: the whole message in OrgnlGrpInfAndSts/GrpSts, a payment block in OrgnlPmtInfAndSts/PmtInfSts, and one transaction in TxInfAndSts/TxSts. CPUC may be reported for a single transaction (TxSts), in pain.002.001.08 and later; the Payment File Viewer warns when a status sits at a level its ISO code list does not cover.

The transactions are matched to your file by OrgnlEndToEndId (and OrgnlInstrId), the blocks by OrgnlPmtInfId and the file by OrgnlMsgId.

What comes next, and what to do

  • What usually follows: Nothing: the payment is complete.
  • What to do: Close the payment in your books.

Not every bank sends every status: many report only rejections, or only a few steps of the flow. Your bank’s implementation guide lists the statuses it uses.
