Posted on by 30

Hi, I  want to generate (export) EFT file for CIBC with 180 byte format. I have seen a lot of guides related to this and by following them i have got output but that output does not fit my format requirement. There is a apecific format for CIBC EFT files. 

I have followed these links till now:

    Urooj,

    Hello. I have seen an 80 byte format from CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank Corp.) but not 180. Using the Data Exchange Definition this would be easy to create, test, and deploy. Here is the 80 byte format for Canadian Banks:

    The following is the format of the Electronic Funds Transfer File:

    EFT 80 Byte File Layout – Credits & Debits

    In the ASCII file the record length is 80 characters. Header, detail and trailer record are mandatory.

    ID         = Identifier

    DT        = Date type

    AN       = Alphanumeric

    N         = Numeric

     BIG NOTE: You can get an updated copy from CIBC of their format.

    I am also attaching a Data Exchange Definition for Canada.

    Hope this all helps.
