SWIFT message types
open-in-new
<p>SWIFT message types are the format or schema used to send messages to financial institutions on the <a href="/facts/SWIFT/HTklm3zJ">SWIFT</a> network. The original message types were developed by SWIFT and a subset was retrospectively made into an <a href="/facts/International_Organization_for_Standardization/IacYR7Yg">ISO standard</a>, <a href="/facts/ISO_15022/CcnbrCrj">ISO 15022</a>. In many instances, SWIFT message types between custodians follow the ISO standard. This was later supplemented by a <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> based version under <a href="/facts/ISO_20022/1y1YNTV6">ISO 20022</a>. </p>
