Beneficiary names for OWTs now support special characters
When creating an Outgoing Wire Transfer (OWT), it will be possible to include special characters as part of the destinationBeneficiary.name field.
The supported characters are inline with the accepted SEPA or FPS payment schemes. If an unsupported characters is used this will be automatically converted to “.”, avoiding any interruption to the OWT submission.
For SEPA we follow the EPC guidelines of the Extended Character Set.
For FPS, the special characters are:
- "/" (forward slash)
- "-" (hyphen)
- "?" (question mark)
- ":" (colon)
- "(" (left parenthesis))
- ")" (right parenthesis)
- "." (full stop)
- "," (comma)
- "’" (right single quote)
- "+"(plus sign)
- (blank space)
- "#" (hash)
- "=" (equals)
- "!" (exclamation mark)
- ” (right double quote)
- "%" (percentage)
- "&" (ampersand)
- "*" (asterisk)
- "<" (less than)
- ">" (greater than)
- ";" (semicolon)
- "{" (left curly bracket)
- "@" (commercial at)
- CrLf (carriage return line feed)
Ability to increase the maximum allowable characters on bespoke plastic cards
If you provide physical cards for your customers and opt for our bespoke plastic cards; depending on your bespoke design and configuration, it will be possible to increase the maximum allowable characters of the nameOnCard and nameOnCardLine2 fields printed on the cards, to a maximum of 27 characters per field.
For on-demand designs, the maximum allowable characters for both fields will remain at 20 characters.
If you already use a bespoke card design, or would like to upgrade your cards and design, please contact Weavr Support to determine the maximum allowable characters for your bespoke plastic card programmes.
