MT 600
MT 600 Precious Metal Trade Confirmation

MT 600 Scope
This message type is exchanged by or on behalf of the institutions or corporates, party A and party B, which have agreed to
a precious metal trade. This message is also used when one of the trading parties is a fund manager.
This message type is exchanged between the financial institutions which have agreed to a precious metal trade.
It is used to confirm the details of:
a new contract between the parties
an amendment to a previously agreed contract
the cancellation of a contract
the settlement of a metal option which has been exercised.
This message may also be exchanged to confirm the liquidation of a forward deal.
In some cases, only one of the financial institutions involved in a contract will send a confirmation to the second financial
institution. These cases include:
retransmission due to errors in a previously sent confirmation
additional information about a previously confirmed contract, (eg, to provide the name of the party in field 57a and/or
87a, in those cases where the previous confirmation contained the code UNKNOWN).
MT 600 Format Specifications

The format contains three sequences:
Sequence A provides the details of the precious metal contract.
Sequence B provides the settlement information in those cases where the Sender has bought the metal.
Sequence C provides the settlement information in those cases where the Sender has sold the metal.

In the optional sequences, all fields with status M must be present (Error code(s): C32).
C3
The currency in the amount fields 33G and 34P or 34R must be the same for all occurrences of these fields in the

MT 600 Usage Rules

Changes to the quantity of metal, and/or price per unit, and/or consideration and/or settlement instructions require
another confirmation.
This message handles only the contract part of a precious metal trade.
The actual transfer/delivery of metal is handled through the MT 604 Precious Metal Transfer/Delivery Order and the
confirmation of debits or credits is handled through the MT 606 Precious Metal Debit Advice/MT 607 Precious Metal
Credit Advice/MT 608 Statement of a Metal Account. In all cases, the common reference of the MT 600 must be
quoted in the relevant reference field (ie, field 21 of the MT 604/606/607 or field 61, subfield 7 of the MT 608).
5 February 2007
The actual transfer of funds (ie, the consideration) is handled through the financial institution transfer messages
(MT 202/203/205) and the confirmation of debits or credits is handled through the MT 900/910/950. In all cases, the
common reference of the MT 600 must be quoted in the relevant reference field (ie, field 21 of the
MT 202/203/205/910 or field 61, subfield 7 of the MT 950).

MT 601 Usage Rules

Changes to the quantity of the metal, and/or strike price, and/or premium price, and/or exercise date, and/or settlement
instructions require another confirmation .
This message type handles only the contract part of the precious metal option .
In those cases where the message is exchanged to confirm a new contract, or an amendment, cancellation or close out
of a previously agreed contract, the content of the confirmations should be identical, and is used to confirm information
already known to the two parties. Careful verification of the exchanged messages is, of course, required.
A precious metal option may be exercised by the buyer. To confirm the settlement of the exercise of a precious metal
option, an MT 600 Precious Metal Trade Confirmation may be used, with the function code EXOPTION in field 22
and field 21 containing the TRN of the related MT 601.

rather than received.

The metal code must be the same for all occurrences of fields 60a, 62a, 64 and 65 in the message (Error code(s): C80).
MT 608 Usage Rules

While it may be the ultimate goal to have full identification for all bookings, this is currently not always practicable for
bookings from non-SWIFT transactions. A four character code is provided, however, for classification according to the
nature of such non-SWIFT transactions.
Each statement message carries an opening and a closing balance, as well as its sequence number in field 28 Statement
Number/Page Number. The book entry itself is contained in a field 61 Statement Line. The last message in a multiple
message statement is identified by the closing balance in field 62a Closing Balance showing the tag letter F.
Since a SWIFT message is restricted to the maximum input message length, it is possible that several messages
(pages) may be needed to accommodate all the information. In these instances, each message should be identified as
to its sequence in the total number.
To facilitate manual reconciliation, it is recommended that statement entries be sorted by debits and credits and these
by value date in ascending amounts.

The SWIFT System validates subfield 2 ,Entry Date (Date in reduced ISO form), using current System Year (Error code(s):
T50).
Subfield 4 ,Funds Code, must not be used in this message (Error code(s): C91).
When the first character of subfield 6 ,Transaction Type Identification Code, is an S, the remaining characters must be
in the range 100-999 (Error code(s): T18).
USAGE RULES
This field may be repeated within the constraints of the maximum input message length.
The following rules apply to subfield 7 ,Reference for the Account Owner:
At least one valid character other than a blank must be present.
For debit entries, the purpose of this subfield is to identify, to the account owner, the instruction which caused the
debit. Therefore, the content of this subfield is the field 20 Senders Transaction Reference Number (or its equivalent)
of the original instruction.
Credit entries may be the result of one of the following situations:
1. The account servicing institution is identifying, to the account owner the receipt of funds for its account as a result
of a related transaction. In this case, the content of subfield 7, Reference for the Account Owner, is the reference
for the beneficiary (eg, field 21 Related Reference) of the related transaction.
2. The account servicing institution has issued a payment instruction to the account owner and the credit identified in
this subfield is for that payment. The content of Reference for the Account Owner is the field 20 Transaction
Reference Number (or its equivalent) of the payment instruction issued by the account servicing institution.
If no reference is available for this subfield, the code NONREF shall be used. The account servicing institution must
then supply, in subfield 9 ,Supplementary Details, what it considers to be the best alternative information.
This reference must be quoted in all cases when available. In cases where a transaction passes through several financial
institutions, the original reference must always be forwarded.
This reference must always be quoted against any charges or fees debited by the account servicing institution.
Debits against standing instructions must show the reference of the standing instruction.
In cases where a mutually agreed alternative reference exists (eg, in foreign exchange or money market transactions),
this reference should then be used.
If the statement entry concerns a cheque, the cheque number should be indicated in this subfield.
The following rules apply to subfield 8 ,Account Servicing Institutions Reference:
The content of this subfield is the account servicing institutions own reference for the transaction.
When the transaction has been initiated by the account servicing institution, this reference may be identical to subfield
7, Reference for the Account Owner. If this is the case, Account Servicing Institutions Reference, sub field 8 may be
omitted.
The following rules apply to subfield 9 ,Supplementary Details:
When no reference for the account owner is available, ie, Reference for the Account Owner contains NONREF, the
account servicing institution should provide the best available alternative information in this subfield.
Supplementary details may be provided when an advice has not been sent for a transaction, or to provide additional
information to facilitate reconciliation.
