# Result types

Each acquiring bank has its own result descriptions for each collection instrument outcome. Similarly, for authentication attempts and verification attempts. Despite these all being based on a common Bankserv schema, this can get complicated. So BankTech standardises all result codes to help you keep track of your results in a cohesive manner even when using multiple acquiring banks.

The result classification approach is outlined below:

* Collection result code (the lowest level of result detail)
* Collection result type (a result code group)
* Authentication result type (a result code group)
* Verification result type (a result code group)

Collection result types:

* Paid (successful)
* Unpaid (unsuccessful)
* Failed (could not be processed)
* Disputed (reported and refunded)
* Recalled (reversed processing)
* Info (interim status updates)

Authentication result types:

* Accepted (Successful)
* Rejected (Rejected by the debtor)
* Pending (Pending response from debtor)
* Queued (Queued to be authenticated )
* Timed-out (No response from debtor)
* Failed (Could not be processed)

Verification result types:

* Verified (successful)
* Partial (partially successful)
* Unknown (unable to verify)
* Failed (could not be processed)
