Source of confusion: each bank has its own set of codes that it uses when rejecting a trade

The Investment Association has proposed new standardised categories of reject codes to simplify the processing of unsuccessful trades in foreign exchange markets.

IA, a trade body for fund managers, says the initiative promises to bring greater consistency to the market and improve outcomes for investors.
