Account Beneficiary Modification

Account Beneficiary Modification

Account Beneficiary Modification is a jXchange service designed to modify account beneficiary information for non-retirement accounts.

Message Flow

In jXchange, the Account Beneficiary Modification service uses a typical exchange of MType messages to modify account beneficiary information for non-retirement accounts.

The third-party consumer sends a request to the service provider to modify or delete existing beneficiary information. In the request for modification, only the elements with values to be changed are required. If a deletion is requested, the Dlt element is required with a value of True.

After the modification or deletion has been attempted, the service provider returns a response to the third-party consumer. It contains the RsStat element, which explains if the requested modification or deletion was completed successfully.

Primary Request

The third-party consumer forwards the AcctBenfModRq_MType message to the service provider. The message contains the simple, complex, and array elements with the values the elements should contain. Only elements that should be changed are required for successful modification. If a deletion is requested, the simple Dlt element must be included with a value of True.

The message contains the following elements:

  • AccountId_CType
  • AcctBenf_CType
