TECHNICAL PROCEDURE OF FUND LOCATION & EXTRACTION
USING SWIFT GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL SCREEN GPI SYSTEM

SWIFT GPI MT103 DIRECT CASH TRANSFER – WITH UETR CODE


SWIFT GPI MT103 SEMI-AUTOMATIC/AUTOMATIC- WITH UETR CODE

Normally all funds arrive in Common Account | Incoming Payment Folder or at GLOBAL SWIFT INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM.
(as it depends of Receiver Software & Firewall protocol in those systems) Always any mode of TRANSFER incoming funds to
be Located and accepted for Incoming. Funds SHOULD ALWAYS BE LOCATED THROUGH “TRACKING CODE” or “TRN NO
AS IN FIELD F20”. AS IS JUST A CONFIRMATION CODE THAT FUNDS ALREADY SENT AND WENT OUT OF SENDER
BANK SYSTEM.
A. SWIFT GPI ARRIVAL TIME: Typically, it takes from 0-72 Hour for the fund to reflect at Receiver Side from the Date of transfer, Weekend
days should not be included .
B. DIRECT CASH TRANSFER: Direct Cash Transfer does not mean that it’s a Auto-Credit Mode of Transfer, Direct Cash Transfer & GPI
AUTOMATIC are almost exactly the Same, its just a different terminology define Mode of transfer into Different Bank Versions. All
Process which has to be followed in GPI-AUTOMATIC, exact same process has to be followed in this mode of Transfer
C. QUALIFICATION OF THE BO & SYSTEM REQUIREMENT: First of all, the Receiver’s Bank Officer in charge of the transaction must have the appropriate
system credentials (i.e., he must be a 14th + level bank officer) and he should have access to GLOBAL SWIFT INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM in the SWIFT
ROOM/SERVER ROOM of the BENEFICIARIES Bank – Preferably at BANK HEAD OFFICE OR AT CENTRAL SERVER/SWIFT ROOM of the Bank Head
Office.
D. INFORMATION REQUIRED TO LOCATE: All information of the Transfer is with the receiver in the Transfer he got from the sender through
the SWIFT/WIRE TRANSFER SLIP and find the wire transfer amount remitted to the receiver. The information needed for the download to
take place are in the delivery slip. No other document will be provided as none will be required.
E. LOCATE BY TRN Code: Different mode of transfer identifies TRN codes differently, in most of the case codes on FIELD F20 or codes on
the TRACK CODE are considered to be TRN. In some cases, UETR code also act as TRN.
Note: "GPI" stands for "Global Payments Innovation", the most efficient Swift platform to administer cross borders payments. GPI
SWIFT Codes are: Alphanumeric (hexadecimal characters) Generated by the System and registered in the MT103/202 Swift Copy
Under the “UETR” Column or “Tracking code” or code under “Field F20”, separately or independently called “TRN”.
FUND NOT TO BE LOCATED THROUGH UETR CODE- AS UETR CODE IS CONFIRMATION CODE THAT FUNDS ALREADY SENT AND WENT
OUT OF SENDER BANK SYSTEM
F. TO LOCATE THE TRANSFER: The TRN identifies a financial transaction consisting in a wire transfer. The BO must start by first accessing
the Global Swift International system, NOT the GPI Facility that is meant to be a pure downloading device to be used only to input the funds
amount manually in the right place under the hereinafter described circumstances!! The BO should locate the funds and track the TRN
peripherally (i. e. within Global Swift International) First.
G. SEMI AUTO PROCESS TECHNICAL PROCESS : Once the wire transfer amount has been located successfully on Global Swift International
system in the SWIFT ROOM/SERVER ROOM , then bank officer needs to enter into the GPI "Pending" folder, and input the TRN and / or
the UETR again which was sent to the receiver, to his banking coordinates (i. e. the bank account number/IBAN and the Swift Code/BIC of
the branch from which the bank account is operated), and simply position the funds manually onto the Receiver's bank account field.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Receiver’s Bank Officer must be perfectly aware that his task is to carry out a transaction which is NOT AUTOMATIC , that’s
why it’s called SEMI-AUTO, as part of the process to be done Manually by the BO, the “Compensation” needs to projected and set up before even entering
into the GPI facility and must be accomplished after positioning the wire transfer amount onto the bank account field and before leaving the GPI facility.
H. The wire transfer amount must then be inputted manually onto the account field of the receiver's bank account before the bank officer exits the GPI IT facility
and credited thereafter to the receiver himself.
Note: BO cannot locate anything unless he has access to GLOBAL SWIFT INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM from the SWIFT ROOM/SERVER ROOM of the
BENEFICIARIES Bank – Preferably at Bank Head Office or at Central Server/Swift Room of the Bank Head Office. Again, the funds cannot be downloaded
from an external server that will never work it must be done in the swift room of the bank!
I. The Bank Officer should not quit the Swift GPI interface before crediting the cash amount to the RECEIVER's bank account, otherwise the TRN may lose its
connection with the associated funds then becoming utterly useless.
J. To make sure the Bank Officer may enjoy the highest chances for concluding the transaction successfully, he should track the funds peripherally in Global
Swift and input them to the RECEIVER’s bank account through the GPI system on the same day and seamlessly, i.e., without any break between the two
operational stages.

fund if process is not followed correctly. Moreover, Many Banks has different setup & different software versions as such the Receiver
may/must consult his Bank Officer before requesting any of the Investment fund offered under this contract, Moreover RECEIVER MUST
