Check the payment routebefore sending funds.
A cross-border payment depends on more than the recipient and currency. Intermediary banks, supporting documents and legal requirements matter too. We assess the available routes before funds are sent.

First confirm that a viable payment route exists
We review counterparties, currency, jurisdictions and payment purpose to assess the available settlement channels and the requirements of participating institutions.
If no available and lawful settlement route can be identified, we say so before a payment is initiated. Another attempt without a change in circumstances is not a strategy.
The documents the bank will ask for anyway
Typically, we need the contract or invoice, party details, beneficial ownership and source-of-funds information. Further documents depend on the transaction and the institutions’ requirements.
Documents prepared in advance shorten every round of questions from the banks. And the questions will come, usually once the transfer is already on its way.
Questions about settlement
- My transfer came back after nine days with no explanation. What happened?
- A return without an explanation almost always has one; it just went to a bank rather than to you. We start with the payment messages and establish where the transfer stopped: the sending, intermediary or receiving bank, a missing document, or a restriction affecting the transaction.
- How long does it take to identify a payment route?
- Less time than nine days spent waiting for a return. It depends on the direction, the currency and the number of institutions in the chain. After the initial review we tell you what we need to check and when we expect answers.
- What if there’s no available route?
- We say so plainly, with our reasoning and the scope of what we checked. We do not order further attempts so that it looks like work. A failed transfer costs time and money, and sometimes it costs an account.
- Do you handle settlements using digital assets?
- We do not treat them as a shortcut around the banking route. Each case requires a separate assessment of the parties, the jurisdictions, the transaction model and the provider’s authorisations. We confirm the scope of what we can handle before proposing anything.
