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.
