Warning conditions

BWG_W_TRANSPOSED

Code

1

Message

Account details were not in standard form and have been transposed.
The conversion is performed according to rules for the issuing institution, for example converting all letters to upper case, removing separators, or by padding, typically with zeroes, to a fixed width.

This is the standard message that Bank Wizard returns when any of the account details (including the bank and branch details) have been transposed to the format needed to transmit to the ACH.

For the Netherlands, this warning is also returned when the bank code returned from the lookup is different from the entered bank code, or a bank code was not supplied.

Action

You should save both the details entered by the user and those returned by Bank Wizard against the customer record.

Use the transposed value in all submissions to automated banking services and use the original when contacting the customer.

BWI_W_30DAY + country

Code

1 + country number

Message

The Licence Key for country n will expire within 30 days.

To determine if this condition is present, test for a condition code within a range as shown:

BWIGetValue(h,BWI_V_NEXT,value)

if(value BWI_W_30DAY value BWI_W_30DAY + BWI_C_MAX) {

country_id = value - BWI_W_30DAY

... process 30 day warning for 'country_id'

}

Action

If you have recently renewed your licence for this country, check that you have installed the new key. Otherwise, contact your Experian account manager to arrange a new Licence Key.

BWG_W_UNAVAILABLE_MODULUS

Code

2

Message

Modulus check algorithm is unavailable for these account details.

This may be because Experian are awaiting the algorithm or because the bank does not have these checks or does not make them available.

If you have the no modulus check licence, modulus checks are not performed and you will never get this warning.

Action

Bank Wizard cannot confirm the validity of this account number, only the format can be checked. Manually reconfirm the account details before continuing. Typically, you should not treat this condition as an error.

BWG_W_NO_MODULUS

Code

3

Message

Account number does not use a modulus check algorithm.

This warning occurs if Bank Wizard has identified that modulus checking is not performed on this account.

You cannot get this warning if you are performing a branch check.

Action

Bank Wizard cannot confirm the validity of this account number. Manually reconfirm the account details before continuing. Typically, you should not treat this as an error.

BWG_W_BRANCH_CLOSING

Code

4

Message

Branch is due to close - there is a close date set for this branch after the current system date.

Bank is closed or due to close - this is returned for countries where the account details could still be valid even if the branch is closed.

You cannot get this condition if you have the modulus check licence because branch closure is not checked for.

In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the message is "Sort code is due to close".

Action

You must decide whether to accept the details. For closing branches, if this is a one-off payment or Direct Debit collection before the closure date on an existing account it is unlikely to be rejected. However, reject any details that are creating a regular Direct Debit.

For countries that accept details for closed banks or branches (message: Bank is closed or due to close), accept the details if there are no other messages that prevent you accepting the details.

BWG_W_BRANCH_TRANSFERRING

Code

Message

Branch is due to be transferred or Bank has been redirected and new bank details returned.

The branch is due to close and all accounts are transferring to another branch at a date after the current system date.
