Testing

Check the data contents

You can check the data contents of SEPA payments and other payment types sent to the Corporate Payments Service by uploading the payment message to the testing tool for credit transfer. Select a message description corresponding to the payment type and check the message. 

In the e-invoice testing tool you can check e-invoices in the Finvoice format.

Tools for the format check of Finvoice messages

You can use the Finvoice testing tool, offered by Nordea, for checking the format and, to some extent, logical correctness of the structure of the messages formed by your software.

The tool is easy to use, and you get a reply right away. No data on the message is stored in Nordea's systems.
