TECHNICAL PROCEDURE FOR FUND LOCATION AND CODES TO LOCATE

WHERE TO LOCATE THE FUNDS


Funds typically arrive in the following locations within the bank's system:
Common Account - This is the primary destination for incoming payments.
Incoming Payment Folder - Check this folder for any recent transactions.
Bank Track Folder - Located within the Global Swift International System
Global Swift International System. Global Server:

It's preferable to access these locations at:


The BANK HEAD OFFICE or
The CENTRAL SERVER/SWIFT ROOM at the Bank Head Office.

Do not attempt to locate funds through the GPI Facility or at the GPI Tracking Interface.

The efficiency of these methods varies based on the receiver bank's software and firewall protocols.
The GPI system does not involve a download process. However, all modes of fund transfer, including
those via the GPI system, SHOULD BE LOCATED AND ACCEPTED FOR INCOMING
PAYMENT.

The UETR code is a confirmation code that indicates funds have been sent from the sender's bank. since the
transaction is not end-to-end as it required BO input. UETR codes have limited validity. Since the receiver and
the receiver's bank may take their own time to process so there's a risk that funds may return if the UETR code
is used for tracking in specialized transfers.

NOTE: A Bank Officer (BO) can only locate transactions if they have access to the Global Swift International
System. This access is typically available from the SWIFT Room/Server Room of the Beneficiary's Bank’s Head
Office or with Large Branch of beneficiary Bank who has direct access to Head Office Global Swift
International System . To access these funds, the Bank Officer must have credentials of Grade 14 or higher.
This ensures that only authorized and adequately ranked personnel can handle such sensitive operations.
Disclaimer: The guidelines provided above are intended as suggestive and indicative only. The sender disclaims any responsibility for the loss of funds resulting from
incorrect adherence to these procedures. It is important to note that banking systems vary significantly, with different banks using different setups and software
versions. Therefore, recipients are strongly advised to consult with their Bank Officer before requesting any investment funds offered under this contract. Furthermore,
recipients must ensure that they have the appropriate banking arrangements in place, such as a Special Global Investment Bank Account, an open credit line, or
sufficient personal funds, to activate the clearing procedure. Additionally, all necessary approvals must be obtained from relevant authorities, including the local Central
Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB), or other regulatory bodies, especially in the case of economic or humanitarian projects.
