KTT / S2S / IPIP / IPID “Transfers” Are Fabricated Banking Scams
Many executives still receive proposals claiming access to “KTT,” “Server-to-Server,” “IPIP,” “IPID,” or “screen-to-screen transfers.” None of these exist in the global banking system. They are fake concepts promoted by fraudsters who use technical jargon to extract upfront fees or mislead investors. This page clarifies why these so-called transfers are not banking transactions and how to respond professionally.
Fact:
If a transfer does not move through SWIFT, RTGS, or another regulated settlement rail, it is not real. There are no exceptions.
Recognised Banking Settlement Channels
| Valid Channels |
Description |
| SWIFT MT and ISO 20022 |
Used by all regulated banks for international value transfers (MT103, MT202, pacs.008, etc.). |
| Central Bank RTGS |
Fedwire, CHAPS, TARGET2, CHIPS, and SEPA settle in central bank money. |
| Domestic Clearing Systems |
ACH, FPS, NPP, CNAPS and other licensed systems move real funds between accounts. |
| Audited Ledger Entries |
All balances appear in the sender and recipient bank’s core ledger, not in screenshots or shared folders. |
Why KTT, S2S, IPIP, and IPID Are Scams
| Claim |
Reality |
| “KTT is an interbank transfer faster than SWIFT.” |
KTT (Key Tested Telex) was retired decades ago. No bank uses it for settlement. |
| “S2S or IPIP sends value directly between servers.” |
No regulated payment system recognises these codes. They are fictional. |
| “Screenshots prove the balance.” |
Only authenticated ledger entries and SWIFT confirmations are proof of funds. |
| “Activation or unlock fee required.” |
Classic advance-fee fraud. Real transfers never require prepayment to activate. |
| “Private banking platform will release value after demo.” |
Demonstrations, server logins, or dashboards do not settle real funds. |
How to Identify a Fraudulent Proposal
- Uses unlicensed or “ghost” banks with no BIC or regulator
- Refuses to disclose which settlement rail is used
- Relies on messaging apps, not official banking channels
- Offers “heritage funds,” “off-ledger balances,” or “sovereign platform” access
- Requests personal documents before due diligence is complete
Bottom Line:
If a proposal mentions KTT, IPIP, IPID, S2S, or “screen-to-screen transfer,” it is a scam. These systems do not exist, and no legitimate financial institution recognises them.
What To Do If You Receive Such a Proposal
- Do not send money, identification, or corporate documentation.
- Decline to sign NDAs or “proof of funds” requests referencing fake codes.
- Consult a professional advisor for a written compliance response.
- Document and report the sender if they claim to represent a licensed institution.
