How correspondent banking works

Many cross-border payments travel through one or more intermediary institutions. These banks maintain accounts with each other and help move funds between institutions that do not have a direct relationship.

01

Sending bank

Creates the payment instruction and selects an available route.

02

Intermediary bank

Routes or settles funds through the relevant correspondent relationship.

03

Receiving bank

Credits the beneficiary after required processing and checks.
