BTW: I always prefer camt over swift, because camt is a well documented and well understood file format.
Swift mt940 OTOH is a pain in the neck, with all those extensions and specialties.

It took us about 20 years to get the swift parser work well enough for all those different document types we encountered so far in Germany. It might not work that well with MT940 docs from other countries :-/ I imagine your banks have their own ideas about what to put in the MT940 fields...

Martin
