Ohmyfin 的回答如下（英文）。
Bank-side public payment trackers typically have short data-retention windows — Deutsche Bank's corporates.db.com keeps records about 7 days, HSBC ~30 days, Citi ~14-21 days. After that, or once a payment moves to a final state (credited / rejected) or is recalled, the public lookup returns 'no results'. The payment still exists in the SWIFT network — Ohmyfin retains tracking history longer than most bank portals.
Bank public trackers exist to give customers and counterparties real-time visibility into recent payments. They are not designed as long-term archives.
Common retention windows: Deutsche Bank corporates.db.com ~7 days, HSBC Connect ~30 days, Citi CitiDirect ~14-21 days, JPM Access ~30 days, BNP Paribas Centric ~14 days. SWIFT's own institutional tracker (tracker.swift.com) keeps 124 days.
Reasons for the short retention: GDPR / data minimisation rules in Europe limit how long banks can publicly expose payment metadata; cost of running large historical lookups; fraud prevention (old completed UETRs can be misused in fake-MT103 scams).
Workarounds: 1) Use Ohmyfin — we keep tracking history longer than most bank portals; 2) Ask the bank's corporate / treasury team for an internal lookup, which is usually accessible for years; 3) Keep your own copy of the SWIFT confirmation when you send a payment.
