SCORE message migration November 2009
In November 2009, the MT 103 and MT 950 message standards were removed from SCORE. As of then, the MT 101 and the MT 940 became the only valid MT message standards to give payment instructions and receive account reporting within SCORE. SWIFT has written an MT migration guide that facilitates the migration to MT 101 and MT 940.
