Ohmyfin απαντά: What is the difference between MT103 and pacs.008?
Η απάντηση του Ohmyfin παρακάτω (στα αγγλικά).
MT103 is the legacy SWIFT FIN format for single customer credit transfers; pacs.008 is its ISO 20022 XML successor. Both carry the same payment information (sender, beneficiary, amount, currency, UETR) but pacs.008 supports much richer structured data and is replacing MT103 globally by November 2025.
MT103 is the SWIFT MT (Message Type) standard for a customer credit transfer. It uses block-and-field syntax with around 30 fields, hard length limits per field, and limited support for structured names and addresses.
pacs.008 is the equivalent ISO 20022 XML message defined in the FIToFICustomerCreditTransfer schema. It carries the same data plus dozens of additional structured fields (full structured address, regulatory reporting, purpose codes, charge breakdowns) that MT103 simply cannot represent.
From November 2025 onwards, all SWIFT cross-border traffic must be sent in ISO 20022 (pacs.008) — the MT103 will be retired in the cross-border space. Banks already exchange both formats during the migration window.
For tracking purposes, both formats carry the same UETR (MT103 field 121 / pacs.008 <UETR> element) so the same Ohmyfin lookup works regardless of which format the originating bank used.
MT103 = legacy SWIFT FIN format (block/field syntax)
pacs.008 = ISO 20022 XML replacement
pacs.008 supports far richer structured data
MT103 cross-border retires November 2025 — pacs.008 takes over
Both carry the same UETR — Ohmyfin tracks either

Τι είναι ο αριθμός UETR;
Το UETR (Μοναδική Αναφορά Συναλλαγής Άκρο προς Άκρο) είναι ένα UUID 36 χαρακτήρων που αποδίδεται σε κάθε πληρωμή SWIFT GPI για παρακολούθηση σε όλη την αλυσίδα ανταποκριτών.
Πόσο διαρκεί μια μεταφορά SWIFT;
Οι περισσότερες πληρωμές SWIFT GPI ολοκληρώνονται εντός 24 ωρών· διασυνοριακές μεταφορές μπορεί να διαρκέσουν 1-5 εργάσιμες ημέρες ανάλογα με τις ενδιάμεσες τράπεζες και το νόμισμα.
