What is EDIweb?

EDIweb is the bank file transmission portal offered by Crédit Agricole's regional banks to professionals, businesses, associations and local authorities. It lets you exchange files with the bank: sending SEPA credit transfer and direct debit batches, receiving account statements and processing reports. It is the "online" alternative to the EBICS protocol for transmitting bulk payment orders.

            EDIweb transmits your files to the bank, but it does not create them for you. That is where EasyBankFlow comes in: you prepare your transactions in Excel, we generate the compliant SEPA XML file that you simply upload to EDIweb.
        

Which files can you import into EDIweb?

For SEPA payments, EDIweb expects XML files compliant with the ISO 20022 standard. Two formats cover most needs:

Operation	Expected format	Generated by EasyBankFlow
SEPA credit transfers (salaries, suppliers…)	pain.001	✓
SEPA direct debits (membership fees, rents, subscriptions…)	pain.008	✓

            For direct debits, EasyBankFlow handles the mandate information required by Crédit Agricole: SEPA Creditor Identifier (ICS), unique mandate reference (RUM), signature date and sequence type (FRST, RCUR, OOFF, FNAL).
        

How do I import a SEPA file into EDIweb?

From your Excel spreadsheet to a validated batch in EDIweb, in four steps.

Prepare your file

List your transactions in an Excel or CSV file: IBAN, amount, description. Download our templates if needed.

Convert it to SEPA XML

Import the file into EasyBankFlow, choose "Credit transfer" or "Direct debit", enter your originator IBAN and download the generated XML.

Upload it to EDIweb

Log in to EDIweb and upload the XML file via the file submission feature (section dedicated to credit transfers or direct debits).

Validate the batch

Check the summary (number of transactions, total amount), then validate or sign the batch depending on your subscription. The bank then executes the orders.

File rejected by EDIweb? The most common causes

An import rejection almost always comes from the file content, not from EDIweb itself. Here are the points to check first:

✓ Invalid or misspelled IBAN or BIC (spaces, missing characters)

✓ Missing or incorrect SEPA Creditor Identifier (ICS) on a direct debit batch

✓ Incomplete mandate information: missing unique mandate reference (RUM) or signature date

✓ Characters not allowed by the SEPA standard in names or labels

✓ Invalid XML structure or inconsistent totals (NbOfTxs, CtrlSum)

Before retrying an import, run your file through our free SEPA XML validator : it checks the structure, IBANs, BICs and totals of the file.

EDIweb or EBICS: what is the difference?

EDIweb is a web portal: you upload your files manually from a browser, which suits small and medium businesses with occasional or regular batches very well. EBICS is an automated exchange protocol, integrated directly into treasury software or an ERP, intended rather for companies with large volumes. In both cases, the exchanged files are the same: ISO 20022 compliant SEPA XML — exactly what EasyBankFlow generates.

Frequently asked questions

What is Crédit Agricole's EDIweb?

EDIweb is Crédit Agricole's bank file transmission service for professionals and businesses. It lets you send SEPA credit transfer and direct debit batches to the bank as files, and receive statements, without entering each transaction manually.

Which file format should I import into EDIweb?

EDIweb accepts SEPA files in ISO 20022 XML format: pain.001 for credit transfer batches and pain.008 for direct debit batches. EasyBankFlow generates exactly these formats from a simple Excel or CSV file.

List your transactions (IBAN, amount, label…) in an Excel or CSV file, import it into EasyBankFlow and download the generated SEPA XML file. All that remains is to upload this file to EDIweb via the file submission feature, then validate the batch.

Why is my file rejected by EDIweb?

Rejections most often come from an invalid IBAN or BIC, a missing SEPA Creditor Identifier (ICS) on direct debits, incomplete mandate information (unique mandate reference, signature date), characters not allowed by the SEPA standard, or a badly structured XML file. A SEPA XML validator helps identify the problem before importing.
