admi.024 — Notification of Correspondence
The targeted notification that a document, correspondence or reference change has been made available. Used by an operator or bank to flag a specific recipient (vs broadcast). admi sub-domain.
Purpose and place in the flow
admi.024 is used to targetedly notify a recipient that some content (correspondence, document, reference) is now available. Unlike admi.004 (broadcast to all), admi.024 targets a specific BIC. Typical for compliance reports, attestations, implementation notes, or to announce a client reference change (RAC, IBAN, BBAN).
Flow context: a system operator publishes a document on its secure portal, then sends admi.024 to the affected participant with the document reference. On receipt, the participant downloads the document via its standard channel.
XML structure
admi.024 is wrapped in <Document> then the root
<NtfctnOfCrspdc>. Three main blocks:
- CrspdcId (Correspondence Identification) — unique notification identifier + datetime.
- CrspdcRcrd (Correspondence Record) — content metadata: reference, type, description, attached document.
- CrspdcRcvr (Correspondence Receiver) — targeted recipient (BIC or identifier).
Key fields
CrspdcId/Id— Unique notification identifier (max 35 chars).CrspdcId/CreDtTm— Creation datetime (ISO 8601 with timezone).CrspdcRcrd/RcrdRef— Content reference (typically the made-available document identifier).CrspdcRcrd/RcrdTp— Correspondence type, 4-char code:MAIN(maintenance),IMPL(implementation guide),CONF(conformity),RGCH(reference change),NTCH(notification change).CrspdcRcrd/RcrdDesc— Textual description (max 350 chars).CrspdcRcrd/AttchdDocId— Attached document identifier or pointer to the portal.CrspdcRcvr/BICFI— Receiver BIC (8 or 11 chars).

Common pitfalls
- Non-standard
RcrdTp— use the published external ISO codes. A proprietary code (T2-MTC) is not interpretable by other operators. - Empty description — without
RcrdDesc, the recipient does not know why it received the notification. Always state the expected action and deadline. - Wrong recipient — a wrong BIC in
CrspdcRcvrsends the notification to the wrong bank. Validate the BIC against the SWIFT BIC Directory. - Document not yet published — sending an admi.024 referencing a document not yet on the portal. Always publish first, then notify.
- Confusion with admi.004 — admi.004 is broadcast (everyone), admi.024 is targeted (one BIC). Confusing the two leads to noise for other participants or a missed notification for the target.
- Missing timestamp —
CreDtTmis mandatory and must include the timezone: essential for operator log correlation.
