SWIFT gpi service for payment tracking now free of charge!
SWIFT is now offering the gpi for Corporates (g4c) service free of charge to companies connected to the SWIFT network.
Reminder: what is the gpi for Corporates service?
The SWIFT gpi (global payments innovation) service was launched in 2017 with the Pay & Trace functionality to allow corporates to track their cross-border payments from order origination to receipt. They can thus know at any time the status of their payments sent in Cegid Allmybanks as well as the routing details: bank fees, exchange rates applied by each bank, confirmation of the credit in the beneficiary’s account, etc.
Since 2020, SWIFT also offers the Inbound payments tracking feature to track incoming transactions. Therefore, you receive notifications in Cegid Allmybanks as soon as a transfer is initiated to your bank account and for any update of the payment status. These notifications, in real time, indicate the details of the order and its routing: sender, amount, fees applied, delay, etc.
To benefit from these functionalities, your banks must subscribe to the SWIFT gpi solution. They are the ones who undertake to inform you of the processing of your payment orders. Today, more than 4,200 financial institutions are members of gpi.
