MT547 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:

  • confirm the delivery of financial instruments against payment, physically or by book-entry, from a specified party (the function of the message is NEWM)

  • cancel a confirmation of a delivery against payment previously sent by the account servicer (the function of the message is CANC)

  • reverse a confirmation of a delivery against payment previously sent by the account servicer (the function of the message is RVSL).

The message is also used to pre-confirm settlement or to confirm a partial settlement of a delivery of financial instruments against payment.

MT547 Usage Rules

The message may also be used to:

  • re-send a message (be it a confirmation, cancellation or reversal of a confirmation) sent by the account servicer to the account owner (the sub-function of the message is DUPL)

  • provide a third party with a copy of a message (be it a confirmation, cancellation or reversal of a confirmation) being sent by the account servicer for information (the sub-function of the message is COPY)

  • re-send a third party a copy of a message (be it a confirmation, cancellation or reversal of a confirmation) being sent by the account servicer for information (sub-function of the message is CODU).

When the message is used as a cancellation, the linkage sequence must contain the reference of the original confirmation.
