Structured communication accepts mismatched delimiters · case 03

A reference opened with +++ and closed with *** is accepted.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Belgian structured payment communication: optional surrounding +++...+++ or ***...*** (matching), slashes ignored, then exactly 12 ASCII digits (else "malformed"). The last two digits must equal the first ten digits mod 97, where a remainder of 0 is written 97. Return whether they match.

Why this case matters

Banks reconcile incoming transfers by validating the structured reference before matching invoices.

One recorded failure
