Currency Correspondent Maintenance

1.2.8 Currency Correspondent Maintenance

Currency correspondent maintenance (PMDCYCOR) is used in payment chain building for Cross-border payments.This is a host level maintenance. Currency, Bank BIC, and Account number can be maintained for the correspondent.

The bank should maintain the currency correspondent, that is the bank's correspondents, for SWIFT/cross border payments so that the payment can be routed appropriately. The payment chain is built using the currency correspondent maintenances.

The bank can have multiple currency correspondents for the same currency but a particular correspondent can be marked as the primary correspondent so that the payment is routed through that bank even though there are multiple correspondent banks.
