Payments - correspondent banking - SWIFT.

The beneficiary leg is a concept in correspondent banking.


A correspondent banking payment over SWIFT - and the total time it takes to be credited to the beneficiary's account - can be viewed as comprising:

  • Originator leg
  • In-flight leg and
  • Beneficiary leg.


The beneficiary leg is the time from the beneficiary bank receiving the payment until the funds are credited to the end-customer’s account.

The beneficiary leg can form a large element of total processing time, and be a source of undue delay.
