What if my cross-border payment sent via SWIFT is rejected?
If an incoming SWIFT payment is rejected, or returned, please check the following:
- Confirm the payment instruction matches the details - ensure the correct correspondent bank is listed and NFXNIE22XXX as the beneficiary bank BIC entered. Check out this guide here to understand which correspondent bank to use.
- Request the SWIFT reference and rejection reason from the sending bank - this is usually included with the SWIFT return message and will help identify where in the chain the rejection occurred.
- Contact NoFrixion support at support@nofrixion.com with the SWIFT reference and any rejection codes, and we will investigate from our side.
If the rejection reason is not provided by the sending bank, they should raise a trace request with their correspondent bank to establish the exact reason and point of failure.
