Ohmyfin 답변: Why do banks charge for SWIFT tracking?

Ohmyfin의 답변은 아래에 있습니다 (영어).

Most major banks don't charge for SWIFT tracking on their own portal — but they only let you track payments you sent or received from accounts at that bank. Some banks charge SMS / paper-confirmation fees. The reason third-party trackers sometimes charge is to cover SWIFT licensing and infrastructure — but Ohmyfin is free for ordinary users, funded by paid plans for high-volume corporate and bank customers.

Most banks include UETR / GPI tracking on their online banking portal at no extra charge — but only for payments routed through that bank.

Banks may charge for: SMS confirmation alerts (USD 1-3 per message), paper printouts of MT103 (USD 5-15), proactive notifications, or out-of-band tracking enquiries (MT199 service messages).

Third-party trackers face two cost pressures: SWIFT licensing fees (SWIFT itself charges institutional members for GPI access) and infrastructure (running the API, scaling for traffic). Some third parties pass these costs to users.

Ohmyfin Organisation LLC's model is different: completely free for individuals (no daily limit, no card needed), paid only for high-volume professional users (banks, treasury teams). We believe payment status is information you have a right to see.
