pain.001.001.03 — 250 transfers, high-volume payroll run

A realistic payroll run: 250 SEPA credit transfers in a single PmtInf, spread over five countries (DE, NL, BE, ES, FR), totalling 442 028.75 EUR. Every IBAN carries correct ISO 7064 mod-97 check digits and both control totals match the exact sum to the cent. Use it to see how your parser, your bank portal or your own tooling behaves on a file that is neither a toy nor pathological — and to check that a single wrong cent in a batch this size is still caught by CtrlSum alone.

  ValidateFin sample file — SEPA Credit Transfer, pain.001.001.03, HIGH VOLUME.
  Expected validation result: VALID — 250 transfers, 442028.75 EUR, 0 warnings.

  A realistic payroll run: 250 credit transfers in a single PmtInf, spread over five
  countries (DE, NL, BE, ES, FR). Every IBAN is generated with correct ISO 7064
  mod-97 check digits, every name stays inside the basic SEPA character set, and the
  GrpHdr and PmtInf control totals both equal the exact sum of the 250 amounts.

  Use it to check how your parser, your bank portal or your own tooling behaves on a
  file that is neither tiny nor pathological — and to see that a single wrong cent in
  a batch this size is caught by CtrlSum alone.

  All parties and account numbers are fictitious.

How we know these results hold

Every file in this library is run through the site's own validator on each build. The expected result stated above is asserted by an automated test — if a file stopped matching what this page claims, the build would fail. Two inherited fixtures were repaired this way before publication: three IBANs failed the mod-97 check and several names used characters outside the basic SEPA character set.
