MT536 Scope

This message is sent by an account servicer (account servicing institution) to an account owner or its designated agent. The account servicer may be a local agent (sub custodian) acting on behalf of their global custodian customer, or a custodian acting on behalf of an investment management institution or a broker/dealer.

This message is used to provide the details of increases and decreases of holdings which occurred during a specified period, for all or selected securities in the specified safekeeping account or sub-safekeeping account which the account servicer holds for the account owner.

This message may be used as a trade date based (:22F::STBA//TRAD) or a settlement date based statement (22F::STBA//SETT).

This message may also be used to respond to a request for statement/status advice, that is, the MT 549 Request for Statement/Status Advice and to report that there are no transactions for the specified period of time.

MT536 Usage Rules

  • This statement is used by the account servicer to report on increases and decreases of holdings which are held for the account owner.

  • The frequency of the statement must be bilaterally agreed between the account servicer and the account owner.

  • The optional balance fields are available to provide opening and closing balances per security within the holding.

  • Since a SWIFT message as sent is restricted to the maximum input message length, several messages may be needed to accommodate all the information.
