Testing files
Rabobank offers you the option to test your files using Swift MyStandards. By testing and comparing your import and export files against Rabobank’s specifications, you ensure compliance. This helps you save time and effort and prevents payment and direct debit orders from being rejected.
When is testing files important?
Testing files is important in many situations. For example, when you develop software that needs to read or create files. It’s also necessary to test files if you submit payment or direct debit files, or plan to do so. Additionally, use test files when importing files into your administration.
