Response codes vary by bank. The full code list can be requested from the relevant bank or Hecto Financial.

  • The response code field in the Common Header must be set to SPACE in request messages; the bank sets the appropriate error code in response messages.
  • The response code VTIM indicates a session timeout (not an error response). If 3000/700 is not received, verify using 3000/800.
