    It doesn’t have any standardized extension. My solution uses .xml (as that’s the format internally), but it’s not anywhere in the standard. About category I don’t really know. SEPA stands for Single Euro Payment Area, but it contains quite a lot of things, https://www.iso20022.org/about-iso-20022 has a bit more info on the standard itself, but there’s no catchy category name either.
