MT537 Scope

This message is sent by an account servicer (account servicing institution) to an account owner or its designated agent. The account servicer may be a local agent (sub custodian) acting on behalf of their global custodian customer, or a custodian acting on behalf of an investment management institution or a broker/dealer.

This message is used to provide, as at a specified time, the details of pending increases and decreases of holdings, for all or selected securities in a specified safekeeping account, for all or selected reasons why the transaction is pending.

The statement may also include future settlement or forward transactions which have become binding on the account owner.

This message may also be used to respond to a request for statement/status advice, that is, the MT 549 Request for Statement/Status Advice and to report that there are no pending transactions.
