Request for Return of Funds (TCH)

Scenario that describes the end to end processing of a request for return of funds that is initiated by a debtor client.

The request is sent to the debtor financial institution (FI), forwarded to the clearing and settlement mechanism (CSM), and passed to the creditor FI. Once the request is validated by the creditor FI, it sends a status confirmation to the CSM, which in turn sends a status confirmation to the debtor FI. The creditor FI also sends a notification to the creditor client.
