HSBC SWIFT Payment Tracker
Use Ohmyfin to track any SWIFT international payment sent or received through HSBC (HSBCGB2L, United Kingdom). Free, no bank login required, no account needed. Paste the 36-character UETR from your HSBC payment confirmation and you'll see the live SWIFT GPI status in seconds — including which correspondent bank currently holds the funds, the value date, charges and any rejection reason code.
Details
HSBC at a glance: HSBC personal and HSBCnet corporate wires are GPI-enabled. UETR appears on the payment confirmation and on HSBCnet's tracking screen.
Rails HSBC runs over: CHAPS, TARGET2, SWIFT GPI. Every outbound international payment carries a 36-character UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference) in SWIFT field 121. The UETR is the only thing you need to track the payment on Ohmyfin — no HSBC credentials.
Where to find the UETR on a HSBC payment: on the international payment confirmation (PDF or email), in online banking under "Transaction details" → "Payment reference", or by asking HSBC for a copy of the MT103 message — the UETR is field 121.
What you'll see when you track: the latest SWIFT GPI status (ACSP in flight, ACSC settled at next bank, ACCC credited to beneficiary, RJCT rejected, PDNG pending, CANC cancelled), the bank that currently holds the funds, the value date, all charges deducted at each correspondent, and any rejection reason code with plain-English explanation.
Why Ohmyfin and not just HSBC's own tracker? Ohmyfin is free and public — you don't need a HSBC login. Ohmyfin also surfaces the full corridor (every correspondent the payment touched), not just the bank's own portion. And Ohmyfin keeps tracking history longer than most bank portals.

Frequently asked questions
How do I track a SWIFT payment sent from HSBC?
Get the 36-character UETR from your HSBC payment confirmation (online banking → transaction details → payment reference, or from the MT103 PDF field 121). Paste it into the Ohmyfin tracker on the homepage. You'll see the live SWIFT GPI status in seconds. No HSBC login required.
Where is the UETR on a HSBC payment confirmation?
On the international payment confirmation (PDF or email) under "Reference details" / "Payment reference", or in HSBC online banking under the transaction's "Details" tab. If you can't find it, request a copy of the MT103 from HSBC — the UETR is in field 121, formatted like 8-4-4-4-12 hexadecimal characters.
Why isn't my HSBC payment showing yet?
Common reasons: (1) the payment has not been released by HSBC yet — wires sent after the cut-off go out the next business day; (2) compliance / sanctions screening is still in progress; (3) the receiving correspondent has not yet reported back; (4) you typed the UETR wrong (it is 36 characters with 4 dashes). Try again in 1-2 hours.
Is HSBC SWIFT tracking free on Ohmyfin?
Yes. Tracking any HSBC international payment by UETR on Ohmyfin is free for ordinary users — completely free for individuals — 10 free trackings/day per IP, no signup, no card required.
Does Ohmyfin work for both incoming and outgoing HSBC payments?

What status codes will I see for a HSBC payment?
The most common are ACSP (accepted, settlement in process — in flight), ACSC (accepted, settlement complete — funds at the next bank), ACCC (accepted, credit settlement completed — credited to the beneficiary), ACCP (accepted customer profile), PDNG (pending, usually compliance), RJCT (rejected — see the reason code), CANC (cancelled / recalled).
