Mexican Peso (MXN) is the currency of Mexico, issued by the Banco de México. Track any MXN cross-border SWIFT payment free with Ohmyfin — paste your UETR or bank reference to see the live status.
Details
MXN settles domestically via SPEI. Cross-border MXN uses SWIFT MT103 through BBVA Mexico, Banamex (Citi) or Santander Mexico.
Typical processing time: Same day SPEI domestic; 1-2 days cross-border.
On a SWIFT MT103, the MXN amount appears in field 32A together with the value date. The currency code is part of the ISO 4217 standard, so "MXN" means the same thing in every bank in the world.
If your MXN payment is missing or stuck, the most common reasons are correspondent-bank cut-off times, sanctions screening on the beneficiary or originator, or a missing field on the MT103 (purpose-of-payment, beneficiary address). Ohmyfin shows you exactly where the payment is in the chain.
