Appendix XXXII : Local Clearing Code
View appendix in PDF
To ensure correct routing of payments through domestic clearing systems, a clearing code is required for certain currencies when sent to the local country (Ex : sending USD to the US). Local clearing codes must adhere to a specific structure in both MT (MT101/MT103) and MX (pain.001/pacs.008) formats. In MX, a specific code must be used in the <ClrSysId><Cd> field, and the bank's alphanumeric ID must be included in the <ClrSysId><MmbId> field. Below is a summary table outlining the countries concerned, the codes used in MT, the codes to be used in MX, and examples for illustration purposes. | |||||
