In ISO 20022

MT942 corresponds to camt.052, which the converter on this site does not produce, so it refuses MT942 input. The viewer reads MT942 in full.

Worth knowing

  • With a floor limit above zero, small entries are missing from the MT942 by design: totals will not match the statement.

Read :34F: from a script or an AI agent

Scripts and AI agents can do the same without a browser: POST /api/v1/parse or the MCP tool parse_mt940 returns every statement as JSON: balances, each :61: split into its subfields and each :86: with its structured parts. No key is needed, and the file is processed in memory and never stored (API and MCP docs).
