SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019

2 SWIFT Message Changes


2.1 Compliance with SWIFT MT Standards
Temenos software provides the ability to generate SWIFT messages for the financial
applications the product supports. SWIFT annually revises its rulebook and a new version is
implemented in November each year. Changes may be made to the format and rules for the
formatting of the different messages.
Contractually Temenos provides the necessary updates to the software to ensure that the
application remains compliant with the new SWIFT standard.

2.2 Compliance with new Rule Book


Temenos will ensure that the system will be updated so that after 17 th November 2019 the
system will continue to generate valid SWIFT MT format messages.
Support for new mandatory fields and new or amended conditional field rules will be provided
for previously supported message types.
SWIFT may introduce new optional fields or new options within an existing field for previously
supported message types. In this case, Temenos may provide support for the new option where
appropriate, but we reserve the right not to do so.
Temenos will provide support for new messages where a previous message type is replaced,
and will provide support for all mandatory or conditionally mandatory fields and options in the
new message type.

SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019

For the below outgoing messages the system will be enhanced to support field 121 in Header

enhanced.
Note: From inward processing point of view, no changes are required in the system to process
the following inward messages (MT 192, MT 195, MT 196 and MT 199) as the system can
already receive field 121 for all the category 1 messages that are supported (existing
functionality from MT Standards Release 2018)

MT190 – Advice of Charges, Interest and Other Adjustments

reference (UETR) in header block 3 and structure in field 79 as defined within the SWIFT gpi
service) optional for any SWIFT user.
MT 199 Market Practice Rules
FIN users that are not members of the SWIFT gpi service can optionally use the MT 199
gCCT confirmation message (MT 199 with structured content). This message will allow non-
gpi members to also send a structured payment processing status message. Only if non-gpi
members send the message in scope of the SWIFT gpi service (meaning the receiver is the
SWIFT gpi Tracker, TRCKCHZZ, and user header block field 121 is present) validation
against the mandatory structure as defined in the SWIFT gpi service will be triggered on the
network and the SWIFT gpi Tracker status will be updated.

No changes required
SWIFT GPI functionality is currently not supported. This functionality will only be supported in
Temenos SWIFT GPI solution which will be available only through our Temenos Payments
Hub. For further information on Temenos GPI solution please contact

M 82a Party A AA,D, or J 10

M 87a Party B AA,D, or J 11

Tighten settlement party fields and trade party fields: In order to promote more structured usage
of the messages, in fields 82, 87, 83, 53, 56, 57, 58 when occurring in sequence A, B1, and B2
the following changes are included:
 Remove option D, which is free format text
 Partially restructure option J codes, to provide more clarity

16
SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019

 Mandate that a BIC cannot be the only information in option J. For those cases,
option A must be used.
For more details on these changes please consult the SWIFT Book “us3ma Category 3 -
Treasury Markets – Foreign Exchange Money Market and Derivatives”
Required Software Changes
Currently, the system supports the usage of Option A and D in Tags 82, 87, 53, 56, 57 and 58.

Kindly note that wherever the supports usage of option D (Field 56a and 57a in
subsequence B1 and Field 53a, 56a and 57a in subsequence B2) shall now support
option J instead.
Changes will be made to the system to remove the usage of option D in MT 300.

3.3.3 Group 3 Message changes that do not affect the system


MT 300 Foreign Exchange Confirmation
Field 22L: Reporting Jurisdiction
FORMAT
Option L 35x (Reporting Jurisdiction)
PRESENCE
Mandatory in optional subsequence E1
DEFINITION
This field specifies the supervisory party to which the trade needs to be reported.
CODES
BankOfRussia Central Bank of Russian Federation (RU)
FFMS Federal Financial Markets Service (RU)
Mandatory in optional subsequence E1
Remarks:
Replacing the Reporting Jurisdiction for Russia because the Federal Financial Market Service
in Russia no longer exists. The code "FFMS" was indicated in the Message Reference
Guides as optional code in several category 3 MT’s in field 22L Reporting Jurisdiction, but the
code is now replaced by "BankOfRussia" as they will be taking over the activities of the
Federal Financial Market Service.
No system changes required as the Regulator codes can be parametrized and mapped to
Tag 22L.

An Optional Sequence F has been added to the Message.

Status Tag Field Name Content/Options No.

Optional Sequence F Post-Trade Events

M 15F New Sequence Empty field 88

M 21H Event Type and Reference 4!c/16x 89

O 21F Underlying Liability Reference 16x 90

17
SWIFT – Standards MT November 2019

O 30F Profit and Loss Settlement Date 8!n 91

O 32H Profit and Loss Settlement Amount [N]3!a15d 92

O 33E Outstanding Settlement Amount 3!a15d 93

Remarks:
An optional sequence in MT 300 has been added to address a requirement for some regions
whereby trade life cycle events are offered on a FX Forward contract. These are known as
"Post Trade Event" (PTE). That includes early delivery or take up; termination, close out or
Net Present Value (NPV) or extension or rollover of the FX Forward contract.
The system does not support Post-Trade events on Customer Forward contracts that are
prevalent in the Asian markets.
Note: This functionality and the subsequent support for SWIFT confirmation messages may
be developed in the future.

Field 77H: Type, Date, Version


USAGE RULES
If the "Offshore CNY Centre" is not Hong Kong, it can be specified in field 39M as a two letter
country code, for example :39M:TW.
Optional in mandatory sequence B
Remarks:
Correct a misleading message usage rule that refers to field 39M Payment Clearing Centre in
field 77H because field 39M is used to designate the clearing centre for offshore currency
trades, also HK for CNY.
The system does not support Tag 39M, which is an optional field. Hence, the message usage
rule is not applicable.

MT 304 Advice/Instruction of a Third Party Deal


Not supported in the system.
