Frequently asked questions

When is MT103 fully replaced?

SWIFT MT/MX coexistence ends in November 2025; after that, customer credit transfers must be pacs.008.

What does pacs.008 add over MT103?

Richer structured data — beneficiary address blocks, structured remittance up to 9,000 chars, full purpose codes, and explicit charges-bearer semantics. The UETR is the same.

Is pacs.008 always XML?

Yes — pacs.008 messages are ISO 20022 XML. Banks usually expose a JSON shim to customers, but the wire format is XML.

Does Ohmyfin display the structured remittance?

Yes — when the bank exposes it. Long structured remittance is shown verbatim with line breaks preserved.

Can I track a pacs.008 by EndToEndId?

Yes — Ohmyfin accepts EndToEndId as a fallback when a UETR is not available, although UETR remains more reliable.
