Error Codes (Payments)

Description

During Bre-B payment processing, the result of an operation is not determined only by the HTTP response code.

HTTP response codes indicate whether the request was received or processed at the API communication level. However, the functional result of the transaction is returned inside the JSON response body.

For this reason, integrators must validate the payment status fields returned in the JSON response, mainly:

{ "error": { "error_code": "B101", "error_description": "Payment rejected by the MOL with code B101" }

status_code: Indicates the functional status of the operation. For example: ACTC or RJCT.
error_code: Specific code that indicates the reason for the result or rejection.
error_description: Functional or technical detail associated with the result.

Status interpretation

Status Code	Meaning	Description
ACTC	Accepted	The transaction was successfully accepted.
RJCT	Rejected	The transaction was rejected due to a validation, business rule, participant issue, or ecosystem condition.

What is an SPBVI?

In Bre-B, SPBVI refers to system participants authorized to operate under the instant low-value payments scheme(i.e., participating regulated entities) that originate or receive transactions.

In practice:

Originating SPBVI: the participant (entity) that sends/initiates the payment.
Receiving SPBVI: the participant (entity) that receives the payment (where the beneficiary’s account/payment instrument is held).

Therefore, for time-out errors:

if it says “time-out declared by the Originating SPBVI”, the unavailability/latency is attributed to the originating participant side;
if it says “time-out declared by the Receiving SPBVI”, it is attributed to the receiving participant side.
