The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on how account statements information is structured in the exchange between Holvi and the customer.

Requirements

Customers must have a valid agreement with Holvi on the retrieval of account statements.

File formats

The electronic accounts statement is formed in Holvi’s system in the ASCII format, including:

KTO (Konekielinen tiliote) format following the record description jointly created by the Finnish banks
KTL (reference payments) format following the record description jointly created by the Finnish banks

Files creation

The electronic account statement is created for every banking day or for certain periods according to the customer's choice.

The periods of the periodical account statement can be one of the following three options:

Daily
Monthly
Four times a month for the following periods:
1. From the 1st to the 7th of the month
2. From the 8th to the 14th of the month
3. From the 15th to the 22nd of the month
4. From the 23rd to the end of month

Holvi’s banking days follow the TARGET2 calendar schedule published by the European Central Bank and available at https://www.ecb.europa.eu/ under the Payments & Markets - TARGET services section.

The account statements are always created on the day following the last day of the period.

Numbering of the account statement

The ASCII account statements are given sequence numbers, as follow:

‘Legal Sequence Number’ required by the Accounting Act

Legal Sequence Number

The XML and ASCII account statements use the Legal Sequence Number.

The numbering always begins from number 1 at the beginning of a new agreement or at the beginning of the calendar year.

If no transactions have been entered to the account on the formation day, the Legal Sequence Number is zero.

Note. If a customer requests generation of both XML and KTO account statements, they will always be created for the same period and will follow the same legal sequence numbering.

Files retrieval

The electronic account statement files may be retrieved through the following channels:

SFTP
EBICS

Please ask Holvi for availability and more information on any of the above delivery channels.

More details on each of the data communication methods used for file transfer with Holvi is available in the separate service description documents.

The account statements generated by Holvi are available for download via the retrieval channel defined in the related agreement with the customer.

The files are available to an account owner or to a party authorised by the account owner to receive the message.

The availability of the files to be retrieved depends on the chosen periods for the file creation:

A daily account statement is formed at the end of each entry date, and it can be retrieved from the file transfer service at the latest at 12.00 EET in the morning on the day following the entry date.
A periodic account statement is formed on the last entry date of the period, and it can be retrieved starting from 12.00 EET on the day following the last day of the period.

The maximum size of a file that can be exchanged with the Web Services is 50MB and with the EBICS connection is 20MB.

Files retention period

Unretrieved account statements are retrievable in electronic format for 12 months from the file creation date.

Account statements that have already been retrieved can be retrieved again within 60 calendar days from the day they were created.

Account statements formats descriptions
