CFONB 240 is a French bank file of fixed-width records, 240 characters long, defined by the Comité français d'organisation et de normalisation bancaires. Banks use it to return operations to their customers in the interbank layout, for example a file of transfers received or of direct debits received, with one detail record for each. It sits beside the CFONB 120 account statement and the CFONB 160 layout for payment orders.
The three CFONB widths
| Layout | Used for |
|---|---|
| CFONB 120 | the account statement |
| CFONB 160 | payment orders handed to the bank: transfers, direct debits, bills of exchange |
| CFONB 240 | operations in interbank layout returned to the customer |
The CFONB's statement specification describes all three and maps the statement fields to the 160 and 240 layouts (CFONB, in French). Each bank may add its own profile, so check your bank's documentation.
What Klarbon does
Klarbon reads CFONB 120 statements and writes CFONB 120 from structured bank files, in beta. Reading PDF statements is not available yet. It does not read or write CFONB 160 or 240 and never starts a payment.
