SWIFT stands for the "Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication". SWIFT is a network of over 8,300 banks, securities, and corporations located in over 208 countries. SWIFT allows for the exchange of millions of standardized financial messages between financial institutions throughout the world. SWIFT was created in 1973 by bankers who were in need of a more efficient and secure system for interbank communications and transfer of funds and securities.
Banks will have a trained SWIFT operator responsible for the management of SWIFT messages, both out-bound and in-bound. In smaller Private Banks, this may be one single individual. Larger banks will have SWIFT operator departments.
Prior to SWIFT, all communication between banks was done by telephone, telex, courier or mail. Prior to SWIFT messages between banks contained no instructions past the basic funds transfer itself, however SWIFT allows the banks to attach messages and conditions to fund transfers. Each SWIFT message is a condition of Wire Transfer.

MT 799 Free Format Message
The MT-799 is a free format SWIFT message type in which a banking institution confirms that funds are in place to cover a potential trade.
This can, on occasion, be used as an irrevocable undertaking, depending on the language used in the MT-799, but is not a promise to pay or any form of bank guarantee in its standard format.The function of the MT-799 is simply to assure the seller that the buyer does have the necessary funds to complete the trade.
What does the SWIFT MT-799 option provide?
An account with the SWIFT MT-799 capability allows bank-to-bank SWIFT electronic verification for Proof of Funds in compliance with the SWIFT Category 7 “Treasury Markets & Syndication” message types.
Often there is a misconception that a particular circumstance requires a SWIFT MT760message, when in fact, the SWIFT MT-799 format provides the required bank confirmation for the application. There is a 0.83 € million minimum account size for a SWIFT MT-799, and additional costs apply.
The MT-799 is usually issued before a contract is signed and before a letter of credit or bank guarantee is issued. After the MT-799 has been received by the seller’s bank, it is then normally the responsibility of the seller’s bank to send a POP (proof of product) to the buyer’s bank, at which point the trade continues towards commencement.
The actual payment method commonly used is a documentary letter of credit or an MT-103 (wire transfer), which the seller presents to the issuing or confirming bank along with shipping documents. Once the bank confirms the documents, the seller is then paid.
An alternative method is to use a bank guarantee in place of a letter of credit. It is normally at the seller’s discretion which method of payment is used.

What does the SWIFT MT-999 option provide?
In order to know what an MT999 is; one must be familiar with an MT799, both are classified by SWIFT as “free format message”
The difference is that for an MT799, banks must exchange a so called BKE authenticator which means a test key is automatically coded into the sent message, and decoded at the receiving end.
An MT999 is the same, just without this test code. therefore it’s considered unauthenticated, and MT999 messages have no value whatsoever, unless confirmed via a separate test key.
Banks will have a trained SWIFT operator responsible for the management of SWIFT messages, both out-bound and in-bound. In smaller Private Banks, this may be one single individual. Larger banks will have SWIFT operator departments.
Prior to SWIFT, all communication between banks was done by telephone, telex, courier or mail. Prior to SWIFT messages between banks contained no instructions past the basic funds transfer itself, however SWIFT allows the banks to attach messages and conditions to fund transfers. Each SWIFT message is a condition of Wire Transfer.

What does the SWIFT MT-999 option provide?
In order to know what an MT999 is; one must be familiar with an MT799, both are classified by SWIFT as “free format message”
The difference is that for an MT799, banks must exchange a so called BKE authenticator which means a test key is automatically coded into the sent message, and decoded at the receiving end.
An MT999 is the same, just without this test code. therefore it’s considered unauthenticated, and MT999 messages have no value whatsoever, unless confirmed via a separate test key.
