This API enables Data Providers (e.g. beneficiary banks) to validate cross-border payment information they receive from other institutions (e.g. banks, corporates) and determine if the information is correct.

The Data Provider (Responder) will:

• Implement and expose an API server to Swift

• Implement an API service to validate cross-border payment information by using Payment Pre-validation Data Provider OpenAPI specifications

Swift will:

• Facilitate the delivery of the payment pre-validation requests by using the API server implemented by the Data Providers

• Facilitate the delivery of the payment pre-validation responses with the details provided by the Data Providers

Network option

We advise that Data Providers respond to pre-validation requests over the internet. For more information please refer to Additional Material.

For Data Providers that opt for connectivity over MV-SIPN (API over Swift), it is mandatory to configure the health check monitoring service (for further details refer the document - Technical Onboarding Guide for Data Providers - API over Swift).
