Yes — but only before the beneficiary bank has credited the account. The mechanism is a SWIFT cancellation request (camt.056 / MT n92 RFCN). Success depends on speed: minutes is good, hours is risky, days is usually too late. Your bank initiates the request; the receiving bank decides whether to honour it.

Fraud Awareness Notice
If you received a payment document from a third party, verify directly with your own bank before releasing goods or funds. Fake MT103 / pacs.008 confirmations are widely used in advance-fee scams. See our fraud guide →

Details
Step-by-step:
1. Contact your bank immediately — phone is faster than email or chat.
2. Provide the UETR, beneficiary name, amount, value date and reason for cancellation.
3. Your bank sends a camt.056 (or MT n92) to the next correspondent in the chain.
4. Each correspondent in the chain forwards the request until it reaches the beneficiary bank.
5. The beneficiary bank decides: if funds are not yet credited, they return them (status FOCR); if already credited, they may need beneficiary consent.
6. Track the status by UETR on Ohmyfin — a successful cancellation returns FOCR or CANC.

Key facts
Cancellation is a request, not a guarantee.
Faster than fixing AC01/AC04 in some cases — but most banks charge a fee (USD 25–100).
If the funds were already credited, a recall (different process) is needed instead.
Fraud cancellations have a faster channel — tell your bank immediately if you suspect fraud.
