A complete example

Finpetrol, a corporate customer located in Helsinki, Finland sends a multiple MT 101 Request for Transfer payment message through its sending financial institution (UXXXFIHH) to the receiving financial institution (CHXXUS33) with which it also maintains an account. Two transactions contained in this multiple payment message request the Receiver to debit the ordering customer account, and effect payment to the associated beneficiary customers. The third transaction requests the Receiver to 'repatriate' funds held in an account (account number 9102099999) at the branch of the Receiver (CHXXUS33BBB), for further credit to Finpetrol's account held at the Receiver (account number 9102056789).

Beneficiary Tony Baloney maintains an account with the Receiver (CHXXUS33), while beneficiary Softease PC maintains an account with a financial institution other than the Receiver, namely the account with institution (CHYYUS33). A software vendor invoice payment to Softease PC and a pension payment to Tony Baloney, in euro (EUR), are contained within this multiple payment message.

Finpetrol supplements its existing agreements with the three financial institutions with which it maintains an account, ie the sending financial institution (UXXXFIHH), the receiving financial institution (CHXXUS33), and the account servicing financial institution (CHXXUS33BBB). The supplement to the existing agreements establishes the basis for an agreement to exchange MT 101 messages.

The sending financial institution (UXXXFIHH) and the receiving financial institution (CHXXUS33) also have an agreement between themselves. Please refer to the MT 101 Operational Rules & Checklist.

The details agreed upon by the MT 101 Request for Transfer parties, which are highlighted below for the purpose of this message, are as follows:

In the interest of simplicity, only 3 transactions have been included in the following MT 101 message.
