RJCT — Rejected
RJCT (Rejected) is an ISO 20022 / pacs.002 status code that means: The payment has been rejected by a bank in the chain.
Details
A reason code accompanies the RJCT (e.g. AC01 invalid account, BE05 beneficiary deceased, FF01 invalid format). Funds will be returned to the sender.
RJCT appears in the status field of a SWIFT payment status query. Ohmyfin surfaces this status when you look up a payment by UETR.
If your payment shows RJCT, the next step depends on the code: ACCC means done; ACSP / ACWP means wait; PDNG means contact the bank holding it; RJCT means request a return and start over.
