Correspondent Banking — Frequently Asked Questions

A correspondent bank is a financial institution that provides banking services on behalf of another bank — the respondent bank — in a country or currency market where the respondent has no direct presence. Correspondent banks hold accounts (called Nostro accounts) that allow the respondent to settle cross-border payments on behalf of their customers.

When your bank does not have a direct relationship with the beneficiary's bank, it routes the payment through one or more correspondent banks that do. Each correspondent bank in the chain forwards the funds closer to the final destination, typically deducting a small fee along the way. This is the standard mechanism for most international SWIFT wire transfers.

Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI) are the default instructions of a bank or financial institution for making payments and delivering securities. In cross-border payments, SSIs typically list a bank's Nostro accounts at correspondent banks for each currency. They define how a payment should be routed to reach a particular bank in a particular currency.

A Nostro account (from the Latin for 'ours') is an account that a bank holds at a foreign bank in that foreign bank's currency. For example, a UK bank might hold a USD Nostro account at a US bank to facilitate dollar payments on behalf of its customers. Nostro accounts are the backbone of the correspondent banking network.

On the Ohmyfin Correspondent Banks page, enter a bank name or SWIFT/BIC code in the search box and select the bank from the autocomplete list. You will be shown the correspondent banking relationships and Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI) for that institution. An account is required to view full SSI details.
