Ohmyfin répond : How do I track a SWIFT payment without a UETR?

Ohmyfin répond ci-dessous. Contenu en anglais.

If you don't have a UETR, you can still track using the bank reference (MT103 field 20) on Ohmyfin — paste it the same way you would a UETR. The match will work at the originating bank's leg of the chain. For full end-to-end tracking, ask the sender's bank to look up the UETR that corresponds to your reference — they can do this instantly.

Best option: get the UETR. Every SWIFT payment since November 2018 has one. If the sender can't find it, the sender's bank can — every TRN/reference at a bank maps to exactly one UETR.

Without a UETR, Ohmyfin can search by bank reference (MT103 field 20). This works for many payments, especially recent ones, but only sees the leg known to the originating bank — it cannot show the full chain.

If you only have an amount, sender name, and date, tracking is much harder — banks typically need at least a reference or the UETR to look up a specific payment. Ask the sender to fish out either.

Common scam: someone tells you a payment was sent but refuses to share the UETR or MT103. That is a red flag — every legitimate sender can get the UETR within minutes from their bank.
