    Bank-to-bank recalls and SWIFT GPI stops need precise details and they go cold quickly.

    What to do

      • Note the recipient bank's name, country, account number and sort-code/BSB/IBAN/SWIFT BIC
      • Note the exact reference text you used and the value date of the transfer
      • Identify whether the receiving account is in the same country (faster recall) or international (SWIFT GPI)
      • List any follow-up transfers — recalls work in chains
