    Frequently asked questions
    
  
    When do I use pacs.009 core vs COV?
    Use pacs.009 core for plain bank-to-bank settlement (own funds, nostro funding). Use pacs.009 COV to cover an underlying pacs.008 customer payment — the COV sequence carries the underlying ordering customer and beneficiary so correspondents can run sanctions screening on the real parties.
    Must the UETR match the paired pacs.008?
    Yes. A pacs.009 COV and its paired pacs.008 must carry the same UETR so the GPI tracker can stitch the cover and customer legs together.
    What settlement methods are supported?
    The form emits SttlmMtd = INGA by default (instructed agent), or COVE when Cover Payment is enabled. CLRG and INDA are also valid for pacs.009 core; use the API directly to specify them.
    What replaces MT205 in CBPR+?
    MT205 (financial-institution transfer execution) has no direct ISO 20022 equivalent — banks use pacs.009 with appropriate SttlmInf instead.
