DRILL · MT MESSAGE STRUCTURE

The words behind MT message structure

Read the plain-language definition, then name the term it describes.

A message in SWIFT's legacy Message Type format: numbered categories and tag-based fields, exchanged over the FIN service.

Step 1 of 2

THE DRILL AS TEXT

  1. A message in SWIFT's legacy Message Type format: numbered categories and tag-based fields, exchanged over the FIN service.
    • MT message
  2. A unique reference in UUID format that stays with a payment across every leg, so all banks in the chain can track the same transaction.
    • UETR — Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference

This drill is built from MT message structure — it rearranges material written and sourced on that page rather than asserting anything new, so every claim in it is checkable there.
