RR01 - Missing debtor account or identification

What this code means

RR01 means regulatory information about the debtor — the account number or an official identifier — is missing. Regulation requires the payer to be identifiable, and the file did not carry enough to do so.

Typical causes

• The debtor account (DbtrAcct) or an official debtor identifier is absent from the payment.
• A cross-border or regulated payment requires payer identification that was not supplied.
• The organisation or private identification block was left empty.

What to do

Add the required debtor account and identification data to the file, then resubmit. Regulatory reject codes (RR*) all stem from the EU funds-transfer regulation: the payer and payee must be fully identifiable. This rejection is recoverable.
