How to read the result
A successful BOA check returns structured verification status plus available receipt fields such as amount, parties, reference, and timestamps when the provider data is available. Pending means the job is still processing; not found or failed means the details did not resolve to a usable receipt—re-check typing, suffixes, and provider status before releasing goods.
Using 8 digits like CBE
BOA expects a 5-digit suffix. Applying the CBE 8-digit habit is a frequent failure mode.
Mixed bank receipts
Customers sometimes send a CBE screenshot for a BOA payment claim. Match the bank on the receipt to the route.
