What Is SWIFT?
SWIFT is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications. This is a Belgian organization, founded in 1973 in response to a UN request to implement electronic payment systems for banks. The SWIFT messaging system is a series of standardized messages which have authority in over eight thousand banks in over two hundred countries. It is based on the UN EDIFACT message format, so has been around since 1985.
Why Are SWIFT Messages so commonly used?
A SWIFT message can be sent and received within seconds, and though they are still subject to processing time, this is much quicker than sending communications through the mail, and is much more secure. Swift will use their own physical cables, and will never be sent on the internet. It cannot be intercepted, cannot be duplicated and iwith security that compare to military s[ecifications. They do not use TCP/IP but is based on OSI, typically X.400 protocol.
SWIFT Codes
There are SWIFT codes which correspond to various types of procedures. 'MT' is just "Message Tag" and is then followed by a Message Class (here "7") and a two digit procedure number. Class 7 is "Letters of Credit and Guarantees", and procedure 60 is "blocked funds".
What Happens When My Bank Issues An MT-760?
When an MT-760 is issued, the issuing bank puts a hold on the client's funds, blocking the client from using them. This will allow the beneficiary's bank to allow this to e.g. establish a ine of credit. backed by the funds on the client's account. So, the seller can now use this to pay subcontractors and get equipment ready for delivery. It is therefore imperative that an agreement exists between the parties that governs the use of the blocked funds, so that the client is liable to pay for goods or services never received.
Is A MT-760 Negotiable?
No. Once a MT-760 has been issued, it is not negotiable.
How Do I Get A MT-760?
All banks on the international Swift network can issue MT760. However financial brokers, lawyers, equity fund manager, investment funds and private bankers cannot issue Swift procedures. The bank may demand that you use a special account for this procedure.
