depositids

Depositids refer to unique identifiers assigned to deposit events within financial systems. They are used to track, reconcile, and audit deposits across channels such as branch deposits, ATM deposits, and digital wallet transfers.

Structure and generation: Depositids are typically composed of alphanumeric segments including a prefix (for example DEP), a date stamp, a branch or service code, a sequential number, and an optional checksum. Example: DEP-20241127-BR02-00001234-C. Some systems use UUIDs for global uniqueness.

Usage and lifecycle: When a deposit is received and posted, the depositid is created and attached to the deposit record. The identifier appears on customer statements, in refund or adjustment workflows, and in reconciliation processes, enabling precise matching of receipts to bank entries.

Interoperability and standards: There is no international standard specifically for depositids. Institutions may align depositids with other transaction identifiers and reference ISO 20022 messaging where applicable, mapping internal depositids to external transaction IDs.

Security and privacy: Depositids are identifiers rather than sensitive data; they should be designed to minimize information leakage and protect against tampering through checksums or cryptographic techniques.
