How to Request a SWIFT Payment Confirmation
Three options, in increasing formality: (1) UETR lookup on Ohmyfin — instant, free, latest available SWIFT status from an independent third-party tool; (2) MT103 confirmation from your bank — usually free, available within minutes of sending; (3) Formal SWIFT GPI tracker PDF report from your bank — official, signed, may carry a small fee.
Details
Step-by-step:
1. For instant verification: paste the UETR into Ohmyfin.
2. For an MT103 confirmation: log in to your bank's online portal or contact relationship manager — usually delivered as PDF within minutes.
3. For a formal SWIFT GPI tracker PDF: request through your bank — only the bank can extract from the SWIFT GPI portal and sign/stamp it.
4. For court-grade proof: request a "MT195 SWIFT investigation report" — this is a formally signed bank-to-bank report.
