AM05 - Duplicate collection

AM05 means the bank identified the transaction as a duplicate of one it has already processed. It was blocked to protect you from paying or collecting twice. This rejection is final: resubmitting the same payment will fail again — resolve the underlying situation first.

Can you resubmit? This rejection is final: resubmitting the same payment will fail again — resolve the underlying situation first.

What this code means

AM05 means the bank identified the transaction as a duplicate of one it has already processed. It was blocked to protect you from paying or collecting twice.

Typical causes

  • The same payment file was submitted twice, often after an uncertain first upload.
  • Two files carried the same End-to-End Id and amount for the same beneficiary and date.
  • An automated retry re-sent a payment that had in fact already succeeded.

What to do

Do not resubmit. First verify whether the original payment actually went through — check your account statement or camt.053. Only issue a new payment if you can confirm the first one did not execute. This rejection is final.
