Frequently Asked Questions

What is commercial proof of funds?

Proof of funds provides evidence of a company's financial capacity for a commercial transaction. Depending on the recipient's requirements, verification may involve SWIFT communication, a bank-issued letter or direct confirmation through the account-holding bank.

What is the difference between MT199 and MT799?

MT199 and MT799 are free-format SWIFT message types used for bank-to-bank communication. The appropriate message depends on the transaction procedure and what the recipient bank or counterparty is prepared to accept.

Does proof of funds mean that the funds are blocked?

No. Proof of funds generally confirms financial capacity or available funds. A blocked-funds arrangement, pledge or account hold is a separate banking procedure.

What if I do not know whether I need an MT199 or MT799?

Select “Not Sure” in the estimate form and provide the counterparty's procedure or requirements. We can assess which verification route is appropriate for the transaction.

What information is needed for an estimate?

We initially need the required amount, transaction purpose, requested proof method, status of the funds, target timing and a brief description of the counterparty's requirements.
