How are mt 199 and mt 799 different?

The postings and replies on this board concerning MT103 continue to be a source of amusement. Swift is a closed, private telecoms network whose subscribers are banks, merchant banks, securities houses and other qualified financial institutions. Banks send messages to one another on the Swift system using formats known as MTs (Message Types) numbered from MT100 to MT999, each for a different purpose. MT103 is the format banks use when they effect what is known to a layman as a wire transfer, cable transfer, telegraphic transfer or Swift transfer. Suppose A has an account with Bank X and he needs to transfer money to B whose account is with Bank Y in another country. A goes to Bank X, fills out a remittance form with all particulars. Bank X debits A's account and sends a Swift MT103 to Bank Y. Bank Y debits Bank X and credits B's account and advises B that it has received a remittance. That is all there is to MT103. Nobody who does not work in the telex room of a bank needs to know any more than that. MT103 is a definite, authenticated, unconditional transfer of funds. In the above example Bank Y must credit B's account, nothing more nothing less. There is no such thing as a Conditional MT103.It's another brokerspeak MT 199 Free Format Message Scope: This message type is normally used by financial institutions to send information for which another message type is not applicable. Usage: It can be used as a status message to report reasons for a transaction instruction not being executed or as a message to reject a transaction.

WHAT IS A MT103?

The MT103/23 does NOT exist any longer. If you are being asked to use it it is a joke. MT103 is a NON-CONDITIONAL payment method. You CANNOT add conditions to it because it would effect the "pass-through" of the MT103. No bank will even accept it they just ignore it and pay the funds out as directed by the MT103 not the field 23 which is no longer in use. If you are being offered an MT103/23 option I would advise you to run. It is usually a sign that someone in the chain does not realise it is a scam or they hope that you do not as it used to be in use but not for this purpose. Why request a format that is no longer used and would be ignored even if you tried.
