Know who really clears the payment
SwiftSSI reads the SWIFT standing settlement instruction database and follows every nostro relationship hop by hop — from the respondent bank, through each intermediary correspondent, to the institution with direct access to the clearing system.
3 free chain traces over 14 days. No card required. Then from $40 a month, billed annually.

WHAT IT ANSWERS
Questions that normally take three emails and a day of waiting
Where do I send USD for this counterparty?
Trace their instruction to the correspondent holding their nostro, and the clearer behind it, so cover payments go the right way first time.
Who settles through this correspondent?
Reverse the lookup to list every respondent bank that depends on one institution — the concentration view risk committees ask for.
Do these 200 counterparties share a clearer?
Bulk-trace a whole list in one pass, then export every route, hop count and ultimate clearer as CSV.
How concentrated is euro clearing?
Rank correspondents by the respondents relying on them, with coverage broken down by currency and country.
BUILT FOR OPERATIONS
Written in the language of the settlement desk
Respondents, correspondents, nostro accounts. Asset-category codes decoded to business terms. Every chain says plainly why it ended — an ultimate clearer, a direct participant, or a reciprocal relationship — and each hop carries the SWIFT field its BIC belongs in.
- Numbered hops, each labelled with its role in the chain
- Nostro account numbers and preferred-route flags carried through
- Branching shown as separate routes, not a tangled tree
- Copy any route as text straight into a case note
