MT 201 Format Specifications

The MT 201 consists of two types of sequences:

• The first sequence provides details of the transaction between the Sender and Receiver, that is, the value date and total amount to be transferred, the Sender's correspondent and any other information about this transaction, as necessary.

• The second sequence, which must appear at least twice and, in order to expedite processing, not more than ten times. It provides details of each transaction between the Receiver and a financial institution to which the funds will be transferred. Each sequence includes a TRN, the amount and currency code to be transferred, the identification of the financial institution(s) to which the funds will be transferred and any other information about the transaction, as necessary.
