New Canadian regulatory requirements have been implemented in June 2009 in accordance with the new Anti- Money Laundering regulation. The regulation requires complete and properly formatted by order and beneficiary party information.

Effective Immediately

Canada’s Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act will now require that all SWIFT 103/103+ payments must have complete Ordering Party (SWIFT Field 50) and Beneficiary information (SWIFT Field 59) to be processed successfully.

The Ordering Party and Beneficiary fields must have complete account number, name and address information. JPM Chase initiators should be aware of the need to provide the by order party information in the required format. Please review the examples below:

Ordering Party:

Line 1: /Account Number
Line 2: John Smith
Line 3: 123 Any Street
Line 4: Any town, Country

Beneficiary:

Line 1: /Account Number
Line 2: Jane Smith
Line 3: 123 Any Street
