Reports balances and account entries during the day. It gives an account owner an interim cash position before the definitive statement is produced; delivery frequency, included balances, and whether empty reports are sent are service-agreement choices.
DIRECTION: Sent by an account servicing institution to the account owner or an authorised recipient, often several times during the business day.
Version + profile: camt.052 is a message-family identifier, not a complete version. The numeric .001.xx definition and field rules depend on the scheme, service, usage guideline, and implementation version named in each context; sample namespaces show only the illustrated version.
EVIDENCE AT ARM'S REACH
Start with the exact message version, then apply the scheme or network profile that governs your implementation.
An XSD checks XML structure. A usage guideline adds profile rules, conditional fields, code restrictions, and business controls. XSD-valid does not mean scheme-compliant.
Choose the exact message definition in the official catalogue. The base XSD checks XML structure; it does not prove compliance with a scheme profile.
The network profile that restricts how ISO 20022 payment and reporting messages are used for cross-border traffic.
Adds the November 2026 validation and structured-address changes; implement against the final SR2026 usage guidelines.
Final usage guidelines are published through MyStandards; the public release page gives the implementation timeline.

Full guidelines require MyStandards access. Public guidance states that after 14 November 2026 fully unstructured addresses are removed for in-scope CBPR+ traffic, with explicit message exceptions including admi.024, camt.025, camt.052, camt.053, camt.054 and camt.060.

Full field-level specifications live in the Swift Knowledge Centre User Handbook behind a swift.com login. Coexistence for in-scope FI-to-FI payment instructions ended on 22 November 2025, but treatment differs by MT: some instructions are NAKed and selected messages can enter temporary, chargeable contingency conversion. Reporting, initiation, investigations and correspondence follow separate roadmaps.
