Details
MyStandards is SWIFT's online portal for managing message standards definitions and per-bank usage guidelines. Banks publish their MT and ISO 20022 message rules so that counterparts can validate before sending. Critical during the CBPR+ ISO 20022 migration.
Who uses it: Banks, market infrastructures, software vendors.
Different banks interpret pacs.008 fields slightly differently; MyStandards documents those rules. Ohmyfin's parsers are aware of common variants.
If you have received an MT103 or pacs.008 confirming a payment, you do not need access to MyStandards, 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 MyStandards the same as SWIFT?
MyStandards is one product within the SWIFT ecosystem. SWIFT itself is the cooperative that runs the network and standards.

Is Ohmyfin affiliated with SWIFT?
