BIC Code Structure
BNP Paribas international wires, BIC codes, and UETR tracking
BNP Paribas, BNPAFRPP, and the group's many SWIFT codes
BNPAFRPP (BNPAFRPPXXX in full) is the reference SWIFT/BIC code for BNP Paribas S.A. at its Paris head office. BNP Paribas is a group of separate legal entities, and each has its own BIC, which is the main source of wrong-code errors: BNP Paribas Fortis in Belgium, BNP Paribas Bank Polska in Poland, and the BNP Paribas New York branch in the United States all use different codes. Use the code for the entity and country receiving the wire. For euro payments inside the SEPA area you usually need only the IBAN; the SWIFT/BIC and a UETR apply to non-euro or cross-border payments.
Tracking a BNP Paribas payment and where the UETR lives
Every cross-border SWIFT payment to or from BNP Paribas carries a UETR, the 36-character reference in field 121 of the MT103. BNP Paribas's corporate platform, Connexis Cash, includes SWIFT gpi tools such as Metroline for self-service status and BENEtracker for shareable beneficiary tracking, but these are built for cash-management clients.
Paste the UETR into uetr.ai for a simpler read. We check the public SWIFT gpi tracker sources we can reach and explain the status, for example ACSP for accepted and in process or RJCT for rejected, in plain English so you can see which bank last reported.

Why a BNP Paribas transfer can still go silent with no update
When you start an international bank transfer through BNP Paribas, the transfer travels across the SWIFT network. Instead of going directly, your transfer routes step by step through intermediate institutions known as correspondent banks.
If a delay occurs, checking the status in your BNP Paribas Connexis Cash / Online Banking may show only the information available to BNP Paribas. Other events may depend on correspondent banks, network confirmations, and the access rights of the banks involved.
uetr.ai acts as an independent information monitor. When you provide your 36-character UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference), we check public bank trackers that can be queried with the details you provide.
We assemble available events into a single plain-English timeline. Use that context to ask more precise questions of the sending or receiving bank.
What BNP Paribas Connexis Cash / Online Banking does not show you
BNP Paribas's own dashboard typically reports only the leg of the payment BNP Paribas can see. It does not show what a correspondent or beneficiary bank later reported against the same UETR. uetr.ai checks the public SWIFT gpi trail across every bank in the chain, so you can tell whether the wire is still in transit, held at an intermediary for compliance, credited to the beneficiary, or rejected, and which bank reported it.
uetr.ai vs. Standard Static BIC Registers
Why static directory records are different from live tracker status checks.
| Feature Comparison | uetr.ai (Tracker Monitor) | Standard Static BIC Registers |
|---|---|---|
| SWIFT BIC Base Codes | Included with dynamic copy capabilities and segment parsers. | Basic static database search logs. |
| UETR / SWIFT Field 121 Tracking | Public bank trackers where available | ❌ No (Only lists static branch registrations) |
| Correspondent Banking Nodes Check | Explains visible ACSP, ACWC, RJCT status data where available. | No (static registers do not provide payment-status events) |
| Interactive Simulator Tools | Includes UETR correspondent trace visualizer & SWIFT code segment analyzer. | Simple text layouts with no interactive elements. |
| AI / LLM Agent-Friendly Readability | Optimized SSR (No-JS fallback mode with advanced JSON-LD multigraphs). | Complex web frameworks requiring client side hydration. |
Interactive SWIFT Code Parser
Paste any SWIFT/BIC code below to parse its standard segments. Always confirm the correct routing details with the sending or receiving bank before initiating a payment.
Inside the Process: SWIFT GPI & Correspondent Networks
Learn how correspondent banking and UETR references can help identify international transfer status information.
01/ The Legacy Correspondent Grid
When you start a transfer through BNP Paribas, it may travel over the correspondent banking network. If BNP Paribas does not hold direct clearing accounts with the destination institution, it may route the transfer through intermediary banks.
These intermediary banks may maintain bilateral clearing ledgers (Nostro and Vostro accounts). Banks in the chain may inspect the transfer, run compliance checks, apply fees, and operate on local cutoff schedules, all of which can affect timing.
02/ SWIFT GPI & UETR Field 121
In the past, once a transfer left the sending bank, tracking could become difficult for customers. Swift gpi and the UETR give banks a consistent 36-character reference for tracing payment status.
A UETR is a standardized 36-character string formatted in five hyphenated segments and intended to remain consistent as the transfer travels from BNP Paribas through the payment chain. uetr.ai uses that reference to check public tracker sources and present available status context.
03/ Decoding SWIFT GPI Clearing Codes
The payment has been accepted for processing or settlement. Confirm operational meaning with your bank.
The instruction was accepted with a change. Ask the bank what changed and whether it affects fees, routing, or amount.
The payment or instruction was rejected. Ask the sending bank for the rejection reason and next steps.
Tracker data reports a completed or credited status. Confirm receipt directly with the beneficiary bank.
04/ Primary Causes of Cross-Border Payment Delays
Compliance & Sanctions Screening
Banks may screen payment parties against sanctions and compliance lists. A possible match can trigger manual review.
Timezones & Cut-Off Windows
Banking cutoffs, weekends, and holidays can affect when each institution processes the payment.
Intermediary Fees
Intermediary fees and charge instructions such as SHA/BEN can affect the amount received and may require bank clarification.
Where is your BNP Paribas wire stuck?
A BNP Paribas payment can pause at any hop in the correspondent chain. The same UETR is reported by each bank along the way, so tracking it shows which institution last touched your money and where it is waiting.
How to find your UETR on a BNP Paribas transfer
A UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference) is a standard 36-character reference commonly used for Swift gpi payment tracking.
Open Connexis Cash
Log in to BNP Paribas Connexis Cash or your online banking dashboard and open the international payment history for the transfer.
Locate Field 121 (UETR)
Open the MT103 advice or payment details and find field ':121:', the 36-character UETR string.
Check the Trackers
Paste your BNP Paribas UETR into the search box above. We check public bank trackers for available status information about your transfer.
Typically located on the MT103 document or SWIFT advice. If not visible in your online dashboard, you can request the MT103 file directly from BNP Paribas's customer support.
BNP Paribas wire status codes in plain English
When you track a BNP Paribas UETR, the SWIFT gpi network reports a status code. Here is what each one means for your money and what to do next. These codes follow the ISO 20022 External Code Sets and are the same across every bank.
| Status | What it means for your money | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| ACSPAccepted, Settlement In Process | In transit. A bank accepted the payment and it is moving through the chain. | Keep tracking the UETR for the next reported step. |
| ACSCAccepted, Settlement Completed | Settlement between the banks is complete on the sending side. | Check that the beneficiary bank has credited the account. |
| ACCCAccepted, Credit Settlement Completed | Credited to the beneficiary's account. The money has arrived. | Confirm receipt with the recipient. |
| ACWCAccepted With Change | Accepted, but a detail was changed (for example a charge or a corrected account). | Ask the bank what changed and whether it affects the amount received. |
| PDNGPending | Held while a bank runs a check or waits for more information. | Ask which bank is holding it and why, often a compliance review. |
| RJCTRejected | A bank rejected the payment or instruction. | Ask the sending bank for the rejection reason and next steps. |

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: BNP Paribas Wire Tracking
What is BNP Paribas's SWIFT code?
BNPAFRPP (BNPAFRPPXXX in full) is the reference SWIFT/BIC code for BNP Paribas S.A. in France. Other group entities use different codes, so confirm the one on your payment advice.
How do I find my BNP Paribas IBAN and BIC?
They are shown in Connexis Cash or your online banking and on statements. For euro payments inside SEPA the IBAN alone usually suffices; for a cross-border SWIFT payment you also give the BIC, BNPAFRPP for the French head office.
Is BNP Paribas the same as BNP Paribas Fortis?
No. BNP Paribas Fortis is the group's Belgian entity and has its own BIC, separate from the French BNPAFRPP. Use the code for the entity that is receiving the wire.
What is the SWIFT code for BNP Paribas in France?
BNPAFRPP, written BNPAFRPPXXX in the 11-character form, where XXX denotes the Paris head office. It is the code for euro and international wires to the French entity.
Is the BIC the same as the SWIFT code for BNP Paribas?
Yes. BIC and SWIFT code are the same identifier. BNPAFRPP is both the BIC and the SWIFT code for BNP Paribas in France.
Does BNP Paribas operate in the United States?
Yes, through a New York branch, which has its own BIC separate from the French BNPAFRPP. Use the code on your payment instructions for a US-bound payment.
How do I track a BNP Paribas transfer with a UETR?
Find the 36-character UETR in field 121 of the MT103 or payment advice and paste it into uetr.ai to check public bank trackers. Corporate clients can also use Connexis Metroline and BENEtracker.
Where do I find the UETR for my BNP Paribas transfer?
On the MT103 or SWIFT payment advice, and in Connexis Cash for corporate clients. If it is not shown, ask BNP Paribas to retrieve it.
Why is my BNP Paribas wire still pending?
Cross-border wires can route through correspondent banks that hold them for compliance checks or cut-off times, and euro SEPA payments follow a different path from SWIFT wires. The UETR shows which bank last reported a status.
Can uetr.ai trace domestic wires for BNP Paribas?
No, uetr.ai is designed for international wires carrying a SWIFT UETR. Domestic wires (like Fedwire, ACH, or SEPA payments without UETR headers) use domestic clearing references and are outside this lookup unless a tracker source can be checked with the details you provide.
Is my data secure when checking BNP Paribas UETRs?
Yes. The service is designed for read-only lookups. We never request passwords, tokens, or personal bank login info. We use the payment reference, amount, currency, and date to query bank trackers and operate the monitoring service.
