International payment regulatory reporting codes

A regulatory reporting code describes the purpose of your international payment.

Some countries require this information to meet local reporting requirements. Providing the correct code helps reduce the risk of payment delays or returns.

Regulatory reporting codes can contain letters, numbers, or a combination of both. They are usually 3 to 9 characters long.

Some countries require a regulatory reporting code when you send an international payment through CommBiz and other eligible digital banking channels.
