IVMS-101 Format Guidelines

*Please note that it is necessary to have default key-value of IVMS-101, please check section Default Key-Value of IVMS.

The payload to be encrypted should look like below, the ivms101 payload is as a child inside the key name “ivms101”: { … }.

{
"ivms101": {
//...
}
}

Where the required information depends on Legal Person or Natural Person to make a transaction, the following structure may help you to fill the info.

One validated IVMS structure sent from Originator requires “Originator”, “Beneficiary”, “OriginatingVASP” inside, and the case is sensitive.

{
"ivms101": {
"Originator": {
"originatorPersons": [
// LegalPerson or NaturalPerson
],
"accountNumber": ["ACCOUNT NUMBER"]
},
"Beneficiary": {
"beneficiaryPersons": [
// LegalPerson or NaturalPerson
],
"accountNumber": ["ACCOUNT NUMBER"]
},
"OriginatingVASP": {
"originatingVASP": {
"legalPerson": {
// LegalPerson
}
}
},
"BeneficiaryVASP": {
"beneficiaryVASP": {

}
}
}
// option: transferPath (IntermediaryVasp)
// option: payloadMetadata (TransliterationMethodCode)
}
}

As the BeneficiaryVASP, the info in the Beneficiary field is to let you know the person who makes a transaction to your service.
