In connection with the instruction of the Ministry of Finance and the BNB 03/03.05.2023, as of 01.10.2023, changes in the content of payment orders for payment from/to the budget, including through the Electronic Budget Payment System (SEBRA), enter into force for UBB digital channels.

Dear customers,

In connection with the instruction of the Ministry of Finance and the BNB 03/03.05.2023, as of 01.10.2023, changes in the content of payment orders for payment from/to the budget, including through the Electronic Budget Payment System (SEBRA), enter into force for UBB digital channels.

The changes are as follows:

• When ordering a single payment order, the requirement to fill in the following fields is dropped: type, document number, date of the document and period to which the payment relates from/to;
• When sending a bulk file through KBC Online Bulgaria, containing payment orders to the budget in field 72, the 3rd and 4th lines are present in the form, but no value is filled in (empty ones are submitted).

Example of field 72:

1st line :72:/DTYPE/BUDJ/OPER/BISER
2nd line /BAEREF/000000000000000000
3rd line – empty field
4th line – empty field
5th line /EGN/0123456789
6th line /IZL/Name of the liable person

• When ordering a single payment order to the budget or a bulk file containing payments to the budget, the field "Payment’s type" is not mandatory when ordering a transfer from or to administrators' accounts with identifier 84 (these are positions 13 and 14 in the IBAN), but if it is filled in, a control is exercised for the valid value of the Payment’s Type and compliance with the account number (the code starts with 44*, and the account with 84*)

Kind regards,
UBB Team
