Rockend REST response CSV

This page provides a specification for the PaymentsPlus Rockend REST CSV remittance file format.

File format specification

The file format is a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file consisting of a single header row followed by a number of payment records.

A field may be encapsulated in quotes (") to ensure that formatting notation present in fields does not interrupt the file (e.g. if the field contains a comma).

A valid quote character (') in a field will be encoded as a double quote (").

A CSV remittance file will be produced for each input file provided into PaymentsPlus. Additional remittance files may be produced to update payments which have been subsequently declined by other financial institutions.
