Ohmyfin svarar: What is the difference between UETR and TRN?

Ohmyfins svar nedan (på engelska).

A UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference) is a 36-character global identifier that travels with the payment through every bank in the chain. A TRN (Transaction Reference Number) is a bank-specific reference assigned by each individual bank — different at the sender's bank, the correspondent, and the beneficiary's bank. For end-to-end tracking, always use the UETR.

UETR — 36 characters, hex, format 8-4-4-4-12. Generated by the originating bank and mandatory on every SWIFT payment since November 2018. Found in MT103 field 121 / pacs.008 <UETR>. The same UETR works at every bank in the chain.

TRN — bank-assigned, typically up to 16 characters, format varies by bank. Found in MT103 field 20 (Sender's Reference) or pacs.008 <EndToEndId> / <InstrId>. Each bank in the chain may have its own TRN for the same payment.

When you track on Ohmyfin, you can paste either a UETR or a bank reference. The UETR gives you the full end-to-end status across the chain. The TRN may only return the leg known to that specific bank.

If you only have a TRN and no UETR, ask the sender's bank to look up the corresponding UETR — every TRN at the originating bank maps 1-to-1 to a UETR.
