What's driving inbound tracking?

Our solution

Inbound tracking is part of our Swift GPI for corporates service. It provides corporate treasurers unrivalled insights into their incoming payments to deliver a number of features:

  • Payment advice: An initial real-time notification sent to the beneficiary when the payment is initiated in the network, with payment advice consisting of extended data, such as creditor and remittance information, fees, time taken, and payment route insights.
  • Status updates: Consolidated, near real-time status updates for payment rejections, if a payment is placed on hold, delivery to the beneficiary, and confirmation of credit.
  • Corporate to bank APIs: API functionality enables corporates to query for incoming transactions and the real-time status of transactions.

What are the benefits of inbound tracking?

Visibility of funds

With real-time visibility of incoming funds, you are able to proactively manage exceptions or issues with a payment, such as by anticipating any specific regulatory requirements in advance. You can also get advanced insight into the fees incurred for the payment.

Proof that the payment has been sent

Receiving digitised proof of initiation and structured payment advice means manual processes such as using paper or sending screenshots can be reduced. And with more predictability in collections, companies can turn to improving supply chain processes and managing credit with customers.

Enhanced liquidity management and cash forecasting

With real-time information, treasurers are able enhance their liquidity management by reconciling payments more efficiently, thereby having greater visibility on their overall cash position. And by moving to a proactive stance, corporates are able to use collection insights to find the most optimum payment routes.

Who can benefit from inbound tracking?

Swift-connected corporates and Swift GPI enabled banks are now able to join our early adopters programme and be one of the first participants to benefit from inbound tracking. Payment application providers can also join to integrate inbound tracking into their software.
