Extensions for Financial Services (XFS) interface Specification 

CWA 16926 3.51 Release

The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software interface to financial peripheral devices. The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to create an industry standard. 

 

In October 2023, the CEN XFS Workshop released version 3.51 of the XFS specification.
