MT 300 Format Specifications

The MT 300 consists of five sequences:

• Sequence A General Information contains general information about the transaction.

• Sequence B Transaction Details contains information about the transaction.

• Sequence C Optional General Information contains additional information about the transaction.

• Sequence D Split Settlement Details provides information in case the settlement of the transaction is split.

• Sequence E Reporting Information provides transaction information that must be reported to a trade repository. This sequence is optional and is only to be used for reporting to trade repositories, although some fields, for example, unique transaction identifier and prior unique transaction identifier, might be used on regular confirmations.
