Details
The KYC Registry is SWIFT's shared Know-Your-Customer utility. Banks upload their own KYC profile once, then share access with their correspondent counterparts. ~7,000 banks use it to standardise correspondent due-diligence.
Who uses it: Banks that are SWIFT members.
The KYC Registry helps banks decide whether to process a payment; Ohmyfin shows you the result of that decision via the GPI status code.
If you have received an MT103 or pacs.008 confirming a payment, you do not need access to KYC Registry, swift.com, or any bank portal to verify it. Paste the UETR (32-character UUID with 4 dashes) into the Ohmyfin tracker and you will see the latest available SWIFT payment status — accepted, rejected, pending, or credited — in seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Is KYC Registry the same as SWIFT?
KYC Registry is one product within the SWIFT ecosystem. SWIFT itself is the cooperative that runs the network and standards.
Can I track a payment without KYC Registry access?

Is Ohmyfin affiliated with SWIFT?
No. Ohmyfin is an independent tracking service that uses public SWIFT GPI APIs to give end-customers the same visibility their banks have. SWIFT is a registered trademark of S.W.I.F.T. SC.
