In all reality, although they may look quite complex, SWIFT Codes are fairly simple to comprehend. The first letters “MT” stands for ‘Message Type’, and the number refers to one of several standardized message formats that comprise the SWIFT messaging system.
When an account’s funds are blocked using the SWIFT MT-760, it collateralizes the assets by issuing a SWIFT guarantee. The funds being blocked are done so in the favor of someone other than the owner of the account. This allows the beneficiary of the SWIFT MT-760 to apply for and draw credit against it.
Practically speaking, what does that really mean? If financing to the seller, trader, or investment was defaulted on, the bank would then use the collateral as the payment thus using the funds in the account because they were the actual collateral.
Although this is technically a possibility it is virtually unheard of for two main reasons. The first being that no bank will loan millions of dollars to anyone they haven’t done extensive research on regardless what is used as collateral.
The other main reason that this almost never happens is because the issuance of a SWIFT MT-760, although it happens everyday, is still not commonplace and because of this it brings about a considerable amount attention to the beneficiary of the instrument.
