PSD2 Changes for Corporate BICs are part of the Payment Chain

  • Currently, the originating bank country for PSD check is determined as below:
    • If field 52 exists, derive the originating country as the ordering institution country
    • If 52 is not available then check field 72 for BIC with code as INS
    • If both field 52 and 72 INS details are not available derive from sender BIC
  • It is possible that the resultant BIC in the chain is a corporate BIC. For corporate BICs, the BEI Indicator flag in ISTM_BIC_TYPE_CODE table will be ‘Y’.
  • In such cases, the BIC which comes next in the chain as the ordering institution will be considered by the system to determine the originating country.
