Centrapay SWIFT Parser

SWIFT bank statement parser for JavaScript (ES2015). Supports MT 940 Customer Statement Message and MT 942 Interim Transaction Report.

Installation

npm install swiftmessageparser

Usage

const parser = require('swiftmessageparser');
const statements = parser.parse({
  type: 'mt940',
  data: fs.readFileSync(path, 'utf8'),
});

statements.forEach(stmt => {
  console.log(stmt.statementDate, stmt.accountIdentification, stmt.number.statement);
  stmt.transactions.forEach(txn => {
    console.log(txn.amount, txn.currency);
  };
};

CLI

This package also includes a CLI which parses a SWIFT file and outputs the result as JSON:

swift-parse -t mt942 my-statement.txt

API

parser.parse()

Parse a SWIFT statement document.

If parser.parse() is invoked with { validate: true } then MT940 statements are additionally validated for:

• all strictly required tags
• opening/closing balance currency is the same
• opening balance + turnover = closing balance

Returns: Array<Statement>
