Yes, but it requires the beneficiary's consent. The mechanism is a SWIFT recall (camt.056 with reason DUPL/TECH/FRAD/CUST) sent by your bank to the beneficiary bank. The beneficiary bank cannot debit the account without authorisation unless the funds were obtained fraudulently. Recovery rates: high for duplicates and bank errors, much lower for customer error.
Step-by-step:
1. Contact your bank immediately and request a recall under the appropriate reason code.
2. Your bank sends a camt.056 to the beneficiary bank citing the reason.
3. Beneficiary bank contacts the account holder for authorisation.
4. If authorised, funds are returned (status FOCR / RJCT with reason FOCR).
5. If not authorised, your only recourse is legal action in the beneficiary's jurisdiction.
