Introduction

Introduction
Overview
Category 9 consists of five types of messages exchanged between financial institutions, either on behalf of themselves, other financial institutions, or customers. These are: 1. balance reporting messages, which provide both cash management and nostro reconciliation information (balance and transaction details). 2. an interest rate change(s) message, which provides a means of advising interest rate change(s) to the Receiver of the message. 3. netting messages (sent between financial institutions and netting systems), which enable financial institutions to receive balances and details about transactions which are included in the netting process. 4. status messages, which provide a mechanism for requesting and responding to businessrelated information about customers or institutions. 5. bilateral key exchange messages, which enable financial institutions to request, exchange and cancel authenticator keys with other financial institutions.

Changes
This book incorporates the changes to Category 9 Cash Management & Customer Status messages as noted in the Standards Release Guide (SRG) 2005 and the relevant updates to the SRG 2005: BEIs are expanded to include SMDP (Securities Market Data Providers).

IMPORTANT This volume contains information effective as of the May 2005 Standards Release. Therefore the Standards volumes as published on the User Handbook August 2004 edition remain effective until May 2005.

Volume Formatting Explanation


Category 9 of the Standards User Handbook set contains general information about the category and a detailed description of each message type which is currently available for use. For each message type, the following information is provided:

May 2005 Standards Release

Category 9 - Cash Management & Customer Status

Message Type Scope


The scope specifies the Sender and Receiver of the message and provides an explanation on how the message is used. In some messages, an example of the message flow is also provided.

Message Type Format Specifications


The format specifications are the rules for the layout of the message type. This information is provided in table form with the following information: MT nnn (Message Type Name)
Status M M Tag 20 21 Field Name Transaction Reference Number Related Reference Content/Op tions 16x 16x No. 1 2

Mandatory Sequence A (Sequence Name) M M 25 32a Account Identification Value Date, Currency Code, Amount 35x C or D 3 4

-----> Optional Repetitive Sequence B (Sequence Name) O M O -----| M = Mandatory O = Optional 52a 71B 72 Ordering Institution Details of Charges Sender to Receiver Information A or D 6*35x 6*35x 5 6 7

MT nnn (Message Type Name) provides the message type number and name. Status indicates if the field is M Mandatory O Optional

The status M for fields in optional (sub)sequences means that the field must be present if the (sub)sequence is present and is otherwise not allowed. Tag is the field identification. Field Name is the detailed name of the field tag, for this message type.

May 2005 Standards Release

Introduction

Content/Options provides permitted field length and characteristics. For information concerning field structure, notation and character restrictions, please see Standards General Information. No. identifies the number of the field in the Field Specifications for the message type.

Some messages are separated into sequences of fields, as shown above. An arrow indicates that a sequence of fields may be repeated.

MT Network Validated Rules


Network validated rules are validated on the network, ie, rules for which an error code is defined. Rules specified in this section affect more than one field in the message, placing a condition on one of the fields specified. They are identified as Cn, or conditional rules.

MT Usage Rules
Usage rules are not validated on the network, ie, rules for which no error code is defined, but are nevertheless mandatory for the correct usage of the message. Rules specified in this section affect more than one field in the message, or more than one SWIFT message.

MT Guidelines
Guidelines are not validated on the network and are not mandatory for the correct usage of the message. They concern good practices. Guidelines specified in this section affect more than one field in the message, or more than one SWIFT message.

MT Field Specifications
The rules for the use of each field in the message are specified in this section. Each field is identified by its index number (as shown in the No. column of the MT Format Specifications), field tag and detailed field name, followed by a description of the field, which may contain some or all of the following: FORMAT specifies the field formats which are allowed for the field. PRESENCE indicates if the field is mandatory, optional or conditional in its sequence. DEFINITION specifies the definition of the field in the message type. CODES lists all codes available for use in the field. If there is more than one subfield for which codes are defined, each separate code list will be identified with a CODES heading. When a list of codes is validated by the network, the error code will be specified. NETWORK VALIDATED RULES specifies rules that are validated on the network, ie, rules for which an error code is defined. Generally, rules specified in this section affect only

May 2005 Standards Release

Category 9 - Cash Management & Customer Status

the field in which they appear. In some cases, rules which are validated at the message level, ie, rules which affect more than one field, are repeated in this section. This is the case when the rule does not affect the presence of the field, but information within several fields, eg, a currency which must be the same for more than one field in the message. USAGE RULES specifies rules that are not validated on the network, ie, rules for which no error code is defined, but are nevertheless mandatory for the correct usage of the field. Rules specified in this section affect only the field in which they appear. EXAMPLES provides one or more examples of the field as it will be formatted/used.

MT Mapping
MT mapping provides an explanation of how to map the fields of the message into another SWIFT message, either of the same or a different message type.

MT Examples
Examples are provided to illustrate the correct use of a message. Examples always include the following information: Narrative provides a brief description of a transaction Information Flow illustrates the relationships between the parties involved in the message. An explanation of the flow diagram can be found in Standards General Information. SWIFT Format provides the message using the defined SWIFT format, and providing an explanation, where necessary, of the fields which have been used.

Category 9 Message Types

Category 9 Message Types


The following table lists all message types defined in category 9. For each message type, there is a short description, an indicator whether the message type requires authentication (Y or N), the maximum message length on input (2,000 or 10,000 characters), whether the use of the message requires registration with S.W.I F.T. for use in a message user group (Y or N), and whether value date ordering (VDO) can be requested for the message (Y/N). Value date ordering criteria are described in section 5.4.6 of the General Information volume.

Note: A MUG, for the purposes of this book, is a group of users who have voluntarily agreed to support the specified message type and have registered with SWIFT to send or receive the specified message type. These messages are indicated in the preceding table in the column MUG. Registration is free of charge. It is done by sending an MT 999 to SWHQBEBBCOS to the attention of Customer Implementation. To register the following information must be provided: the destination of the requesting institution, ie, the 8 character BIC the message type or specific usage of the specified message type the contact name and telephone number within the institution whether the request is for test and training or live operation, or both the requested activation date for testing and training and/or live operation.

May 2005 Standards Release

Category 9 Message Types

Activation occurs every Monday. A period of about three weeks is needed between the registration request and the actual activation period. A user can choose to withdraw from the group. This is done by sending SWIFT a similar request to withdraw. Upon request to Customer Implementation (see the SWIFT address above), information can be obtained regarding other members of the MUG.

Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards


Deletion of the National Currency Denomination (NCD) Currency Codes
On 1 March 2002, ISO announced the deletion of the NCD currency codes from the official ISO currency code table 4217. For certain message types, when an NCD is used as the currency of settlement, SWIFT validates to ensure the value date is before 1 January 2002, when these currencies stopped to be legal tender. This validation has been introduced on the network in July 2001. Until further notice, and where allowed (NCDs cannot be used in settlement amount field), SWIFT will continue to support NCD currency codes (eg, instructed amounts, ERI) in the relevant fields of its message types.

Euro-Related Information (ERI)


This chapter discusses what is meant by Euro-Related Information (ERI).

ERI Content
Euro-Related Information (ERI) refers to the following data: original currency, original amount, transaction charges.

The original currency and amount in ERI is the equivalent of the information in the field containing the amount which is used for interbank settlement of the transaction. This field may contain additional information, eg, value date. ERI may be specified in one or several free text fields preceded by a code word. As of Standards Release 2001, the use of ERI was extended to non-European currencies, and beyond the transition period of 3 years.

ERI Usage Guidelines and Rules, relevant for Category 9


The specification of ERI is always optional. If used, however, the rules and guidelines specified in this section apply. These rules and guidelines include: Usage Rules

10

May 2005 Standards Release

Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards

Usage Guidelines

Usage rules must be complied with, although they are not validated by the network. Usage guidelines are recommendations on how to specify ERI. Usage Rules As with all other information occurring in fields 72 or 79, ERI is for information purposes only. In the case of a discrepancy between ERI and the settlement amount specified in the message, the information in the settlement amount prevails. Usage Guidelines 1. If no specific fields are available to specify the original currency and amount, ERI may be used in any message type containing a free text field 72 or 79, ie, the use of ERI is not restricted to specific message types. See the section entitled Messages Likely to Contain ERI. This section lists, for each message type, the field to specify the settlement amount and the field to specify the original amount. The list is provided to facilitate the implementation of different systems: it is not exhaustive. 2. The preferred field for specifying ERI is field 72. If not present, field 79 should be used. 3. If ERI is specified in one of these fields, it should appear on the first line whenever possible. Whatever line is used, the ERI should always appear on the first position of that line. 4. For message types that do not contain a field 72 or 79, there are only two that may need to specify a second currency: MTs 940 and 942. For these two cases, subfield 9 of field 61 should be used to specify ERI. If this subfield is used for other purposes, field 86 should be used to specify ERI. It is recommended that the Sender of the MT 940/942 advises the Receiver whenever field 86 is used to contain ERI. 5. Where the settlement amount is part of a repetitive sequence which does not contain a free text field, the message should be used as a single transaction message, ie, one message should be used per transaction. 6. Where transaction charges are specified in ERI, this information must appear after the code word /CHGS/. This will not necessarily be processed by the Receiver. 7. ERI is designed to be passed on unchanged in the appropriate message types throughout the entire transaction, ie, throughout the chain of messages relating to the transaction. Therefore, it should appear in the appropriate SWIFT messages related to the transaction. 8. The MTs 950, 970 and 972 remain unchanged and thus one message must be sent per currency.

ERI Structure
FORMAT Field 72 Field 79 DEFINITION 6*35x 35*50x

In addition to previously defined Sender to Receiver Information, or other narrative information, these fields may include euro-related information (ERI) for information purposes. ERI indicates currency conversion details, related to the conversion of the original currency into a settlement currency, found in free text fields. It is recommended that ERI be structured in these free text fields using codes. The following code words must be used: /OCMT/ 3!a15d/ O Original currency and amount. If no charges are specified then the original currency and amount will be the equivalent of the transaction amount specified in the message. O Currency and amount of the transaction charges. When the BEN option is used in payments and related messages, ie, all transaction charges are to be paid by the beneficiary customer, the charges amount has been deducted from the original amount to obtain the settlement amount specified in the message.

Messages with Value Date Validation


The following list contains messages that can be used to transfer amounts in National Currency Denominations (NCDs). If so, the value date has to be equal to, or before 31 December 2001. If this validation against value date fails, the message will be NAKed (Error Code 'E76'). The list gives the message description, the field containing the NCD amount and the field containing the value date. This validation is performed since 30 July 2001. Statement messages are not validated against value date, since they are generally the result of one of the earlier validated messages. Due to the importance of statements it is best not to risk rejection of these messages. Furthermore accounts are not held in NCD since 1 January 2002. Consequently, since that date, statement messages must not contain NCDs. The currencies concerned are ATS, BEF, DEM, ESP, FIM, FRF, GRD, IEP, ITL, LUF, NLG, PTE and XEU

ERI Validation and Examples


This chapter details the validation of the ERI information and provides examples that give correct and incorrect messages.

General ERI Validation Rules


Codes and format: /OCMT/3!a15d/ /CHGS/3!a15d/

where: the currency component 3!a must be a valid ISO currency code (Error code(s): T52) the amount component 15d following the currency code must be formatted according to the Field Formatting Rules given in Section 5.4.2 Numbers of the SWIFT User Handbook, Standards General Information. If not properly formatted the system will NAK the message with Error Code T40, T43, T33 or other generic error codes as deemed necessary the amount component 15d will not be checked on the maximum number of decimal digits allowed for the relevant currency code

In the following examples the currency code XYZ is invalid. The message is NAKed: :79:/OCMT/XYZ150,/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR1,(CrLf) :79:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR10000,//CHGS/XYZ1,/(CrLf)

In the following examples the amount components are invalid. The message is NAKed: :86:/OCMT/EUR,12/(CrLf) :86:/OCMT/EUR123/(CrLf)

Note: The amount component must be followed by a slash character, / (Error code(s): T31). In the following example the amount component is invalid. The message is NAKed:

14

May 2005 Standards Release

Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards

:86:/OCMT/EUR1,23(CrLf) Messages and fields impacted The ERI validation will be performed in fields: 72 Structured Format, 72 Narrative and/or 79, of all messages except the MTs 960, 964, 965, 966, 967, 992, 995, 996 and 999 61 (subfield 9) and 86, of the MTs 940 and 942

In the following example OCMT is validated. The message is not NAKed: :79:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR10,25/xxxxx(CrLf)

In the following example OCMT and CHGS are validated. The message is not NAKed: :79:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR10,25/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR1,/(CrLf) No ERI validation hierarchy between the fields Note, if the same Field Specification is reused in the message, the ERI validation will be performed. This is usually the case where a field is defined in a loop, ie, a repetitive block of fields or sequence. For example, if fields 72and 79 are both present in a message, and the ERI validation is defined for that message, then the system will apply the ERI validation in the two types of fields. /CHGS/ is only validated if /OCMT/ is present The ERI validation for the code /CHGS/ (6 characters) will be performed only if it immediately follows /OCMT/3!a15d/ in the same occurrence of that field. Therefore, if /OCMT/ is present in field 72 and /CHGS/ is present in field 79 (but /OCMT/ is not present in 79), then the system does not validate the format following /CHGS/ in field 79. In the following example, CHGS is not validated because OCMT is missing. The message is not NAKed: :86:xxxxx/CHGS/EUR1,40/xxxxx(CrLf)

Sequence of codes is required Within a field, the sequence of the codes /OCMT/ and /CHGS/ is relevant. Only if /OCMT/ appears immediately before /CHGS/, will the ERI validation be applied to /CHGS/. In the following examples OCMT and CHGS are validated. The message is not NAKed: Example 1 (structured field 72): :72:/INS/BANKCCCY/OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf)

/CHGS/EUR100,/xxxxx(CrLf) Example 2 (free format field 79): :79:xyz/OCMT/EUR1234,00//CHGS/EUR40,00/xxx(CrLf)

In the following example only OCMT is validated because CHGS does not immediately follow OCMT. The message is not NAKed: Example 3 (free format field 72): :72:xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR10000,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR50,/(CR) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) Note: If /CHGS/ appears before /OCMT/, /CHGS/ will not be recognized as part of the ERI and will not be subject to the ERI validation. In the following examples only OCMT is validated. The message is not NAKed: Example 4 (structured field 72): :72:/CHGS/EUR12,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR12345,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) Example 5 (free format field 79): :79:xyz/CHGS/EUR4,00/xxx/OCMT/EUR1234,00/xxx(CrLf)

In the following example, OCMT and the second occurrence of CHGS are validated. The message is not NAKed: Example 6 (structured field 72): :72:/CHGS/EUR1,/xxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) //xxxxxxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf) /CHGS/EUR12,/xxxxx(CrLf) Double codes are not allowed in one field In one occurrence of a field where the ERI validation must be performed, the codes /OCMT/ and /CHGS/ must not be used more than once.

16

May 2005 Standards Release

Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards

Note: Since the presence of /OCMT/ triggers the validation of /CHGS/, a double /CHGS/ will be NAKed only if /OCMT/ is present in the same field. If the ERI validation fails due to a duplicated code, it will result whichever field was validated in the existing Error Code T47. The line number of the first field in sequence in the message where the error occurred will be indicated together with the error code. In the following examples OCMT is found twice. The messages are NAKed: Example 1 (structured field 72): :72:/OCMT/EUR12345,/(CrLf) //xxxxxx(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR100,/xxxxx(CrLf) Example 2 (field 61): :61:9809010931C3500,25FCHK304955//4958843(CrLf) /OCMT/EUR1101,//OCMT/EUR1020,25/(CrLf) Example 3 (free format field 79): :79:xyz/OCMT/EUR1234,00//OCMT/EUR40,00/xxx(CrLf)

In the following example CHGS is found twice.

Consistent with current standards In all fields where the ERI validation is defined, the generic, ie, current validation must still be performed. For example, a. field 72 is always checked for maximum 6 lines, with a maximum of 35 characters per line. b. field 72, structured format, the first line must begin with a /, and the second through sixth line (optional), must begin with a / or a //. Maximum use of the generic format definition In order to maximize the use of all characters allowed in the generic format, the codes /OCMT/, /CHGS/, as well as the data (3!a15d/), may be split across lines. Example in narrative format of information that follows ERI related codes, split across lines: :72:xxxxx/OCMT/EUR12345,(CrLf) 12//CHGS/E(CrLf) UR12,/(CrLf) Example in structured format of ERI related codes, split across lines: :72:/INS/BANKCCCY/OCMT/EUR1234,//CH(CrLf) //GS/EUR1,/xxxxxxx(CrLf) Example in narrative format of ERI related codes, split across lines: :79:xxxxx/OC(CrLf) MT/EUR100,/(CrLf) No ERI validation performed in: fields 72 and 79, if the REJT or RETN codes are present, ie, the special REJT/RETN validation for fields 72 and 79 prevails.

Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.

The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction.

May 2005 Standards Release

59

Category 9 - Cash Management & Customer Status

When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.

The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation. This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter 'Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards'. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash.

EXAMPLE (1) :61:9805270526C3500,25FCHK304955//4958843 (2) :61:9805270526C3500,25FCHK304955//4958843 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 7. Field 86: Information to Account Owner FORMAT 6*65x PRESENCE Conditional (C1) DEFINITION This field contains additional information on the transaction detailed in the preceding statement line and which is to be passed on to the account owner. USAGE RULES This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards. Since the charges field in the customer transfers is repetitive, it may be necessary to report more than one charges amount in the resulting statement. In this case, it is allowed to repeat the code word CHGS before the code word OCMT. The order in which the charges are specified is the same as in the customer transfers, ie, the order in which the charges have been taken during the (Narrative)

MT 940

transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word CHGS always specifies the charges (if any) of the account servicing institution. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash. The code may be repeated if the account servicing institution wants to report an exchange rate that it applied, in addition to the exchange rate received in the instruction. The order in which the exchange rates are specified is the same as the order in which the rates have been applied during the transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word EXCH always specifies the rate applied by the account servicing institution. An ordering party is identified with the preceding code /ORDP/. The information following this code is copied from field 50a of the customer payment order, or field 52a (sender if field 52a is not present) of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. In case of a debit item, a beneficiary party may be identified with the preceding code /BENM/. The information following this code is copied from field 59a of the customer payment order, or field 58a of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. In case remittance information from field 70 of the payment instruction is to be included in this field, it should be preceded by the code /REMI/. In case the information in field 72 of the payment instruction is intended for the account owner, it should be copied into field 86 as it is. Codes used in field 72 of the payment instruction have therefore the same meaning in field 86 of the statement. If only free text is used in field 72, it is to be copied as it is since a code in field 86 will not add any value. 8.

MT 942 Usage Rules


This message should only be used if the account owner(s) has (have) authorised the financial institutions to transmit such information. It must be used according to agreed criteria. Financial institutions which receive this message must not use the information for their own purposes. It is important that amounts be identical to those of the original transaction. For identification purposes, deductions, eg, charges above and beyond those previously accounted for, shall appear separately with the appropriate code. They shall use the same TRN as the original transaction, or other suitable reference if no TRN is available. Since the length of a SWIFT message is restricted to the maximum input message length, several messages may be required to accommodate all the information for one statement. Depending on financial practice and the agreement(s) between the account servicing institution and the account owner, the items reported in this message may or may not be considered as booked or available funds.

Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7,

May 2005 Standards Release

85

Category 9 - Cash Management & Customer Status

Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.

The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction. When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.

The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation. This field may include ERI, as specified in the chapter entitled Euro Impact on SWIFT Message Standards. This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter 'Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards'. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash.

Field 86: Information to Account Owner FORMAT 6*65x PRESENCE Optional DEFINITION This field contains additional information on the transaction detailed in the preceding statement line which is to be passed on to the account owner. USAGE RULES This field may contain ERI to transport dual currencies, as explained in the chapter Euro Impact on Category 9 Message Standards. Since the charges field in the customer transfers is repetitive, it may be necessary to report more than one charges amount in the resulting statement. In this case, it is allowed to repeat the code word CHGS before the code word OCMT. The order in which the charges are specified is the same as in the customer transfers, ie, the order in which the charges have been taken during the transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word CHGS always specifies the charges (if any) of the account servicing institution. In order to comply with the EC-directive on cross border credit transfers, the optional code word EXCH may be used to transport an exchange rate. In line with ERI, the code word EXCH is placed between slashes, followed by the exchange rate, format 12d, and terminated with another slash. The code may be repeated if the account servicing institution wants to report an exchange rate that it applied, in addition to the exchange rate received in the instruction. The order in which the exchange rates are specified is the same as the order in which the rates have been applied during the transaction. So, the last appearance of the code word EXCH always specifies the rate applied by the account servicing institution. An ordering party is identified with the preceding code /ORDP/. The information following this code is copied from field 50a of the customer payment order, or field 52a (sender if field 52a is not present) of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. (Narrative)

In case of a debit item, a beneficiary party may be identified with the preceding code /BENM/. The information following this code is copied from field 59a of the customer payment order, or field 58a of the financial institution transfer. The code should be used at the beginning of a line. In case remittance information from field 70 of the payment instruction is to be included in this field, it should be preceded by the code /REMI/. In case the information in field 72 of the payment instruction is intended for the account owner, it should be copied into field 86 as it is. Codes used in field 72 of the payment instruction have therefore the same meaning in field 86 of the statement. If only free text is used in field 72, it is to be copied as it is since a code in field 86 will not add any value. 10.

MT 950 Statement Message


MT 950 Scope
This message type is sent by an account servicing institution to an account owner. It is used to transmit detailed information about all entries, whether or not caused by a SWIFT message, booked to the account.

Charges, interest and other adjustments may be referenced as follows:

92

May 2005 Standards Release

MT 950

By reference to a previous MT n90 Advice of Charges, Interest and Other Adjustments message (for information regarding the formatting of the MTn90, see Category n Common Group Messages). By original advice via this statement, under the following conditions: The charges must be unambiguously identified with a single associated underlying transaction, eg, the account owner's reference of the original transaction. The principal amount must be separately identified on the statement. The required references must fit the constraints of the statement line.

It is important that amounts should be identical to those of related messages. Charges which are clearly indicated in another message concerning the same entry, or which form an integral part of another message, eg, proceeds of a collection, do not need to be specifically indicated in the statement. Deductions, eg, charges, above and beyond those previously accounted for in a related message shall appear separately with the appropriate code. They shall use the same reference for the account owner or other suitable reference if no reference for the account owner is available. The account servicing institution must not bulk separate transactions, charges, or charges with transactions. When booking multiple messages, individual transactions, eg, one entry per TRN (field 20), must be booked. It is recommended that statements be sent daily, ie, at the end of each business day, when movement in the account has occurred. If no movement has occurred, ie, no entries have been posted, it is recommended that the statement frequency should be monthly, and that the maximum interval between statements should not exceed one year. To facilitate manual reconciliation, it is recommended that statement entries be sorted by debits and credits and these by value date in ascending amounts. Since the length of a SWIFT message is restricted to the maximum input message length, several messages may be required to accommodate all the information for one statement.

When the first character of subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, is an S, the remaining characters must be in the range 100-999 (Error code(s): T18). USAGE RULES This field may be repeated within the constraints of the maximum input message length. Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7,

98

May 2005 Standards Release

MT 950

Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.

The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction. When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.

The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation.

Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.

The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction.

May 2005 Standards Release

MT 970

When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8 may be omitted.

The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation.

Original advices for charges, ie, the first time the account owner is informed of a charge, must be identified in subfield 6, Transaction Type Identification Code, with the transaction type code FCHG. The following rules apply to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner: At least one valid character other than a blank must be present. For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Sender's Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the original instruction. Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations: 1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the reference for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction. 2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in this subfield is for that payment. The content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution. If no reference is available for subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must then supply, in subfield 9, Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information. This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded. This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution. Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction. In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions), this reference should then be used. If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.

The following rules apply to subfield 8, Account Servicing Institution's Reference: The content of this subfield is the account servicing institution's own reference for the transaction.

Category 9 - Cash Management & Customer Status

When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, subfield 8, may be omitted.

The following rules apply to subfield 9, Supplementary Details: When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield. Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional information to facilitate reconciliation.
