Fundable Set (Returns)

This page describes the expected structure of the "fundable set" of transactions, also known as a "return file", used by the Corporate LinX B2B process for our clients. Each row in the file represents a funding accepted transaction item.

The file should use semicolon delimiters and include the fields listed below.

If you require any help with the file format, reach out to our support team.

Example

The data below shows an example of what we expect the data in a return file to look like. Each row represents a returned-funded transaction item.
