CAMT.052 is the ISO 20022 XML message for a bank-to-customer account report: balances and entries for an account, often sent several times a day. It uses a similar structure to CAMT.053, the end-of-day statement, but it reports on a period that may still be open. Its entries are not necessarily final. Its counterpart in the older Swift messages is MT942.
