Citibank UETR Tracking
Check what the trackers can show.
When a Citibank transfer is delayed, "sent" is not a real answer. uetr.ai checks public bank trackers and organizes available status context before your next bank conversation.

Citibank SWIFT Code, IBAN & International Wire Transfer Details
Everything you need to send or receive an international SWIFT bank transfer with Citibank, N.A. (United States (US)): the SWIFT/BIC code, IBAN format, and the routing details correspondent banks use. Verify every field on your own payment advice before sending funds.
Citibank, N.A.
388 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013, USA
Not used. US banks do not have IBANs — international senders use the SWIFT/BIC code CITIUS33 with your account number and the ABA routing number.
BIC Code Structure
Citibank international wires, BIC codes, and UETR tracking
Citibank, CITIUS33, and Citi's many SWIFT codes
CITIUS33 (CITIUS33XXX in the 11-character form) is the reference SWIFT/BIC code for Citibank, N.A. at its New York head office, used for incoming US dollar wires. Citi is a global group, though, and operates separate legal entities in many countries, each with its own BIC, for example Citi entities in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and the UAE, and Citibank Europe plc in Dublin. Senders often pick the wrong one, so use the code that matches the receiving Citi entity and country, and confirm it on the payment instructions. US Citibank accounts are identified by an account number and an ABA routing number rather than an IBAN, while many overseas Citi entities do use an IBAN.
Tracking a Citibank wire and where the UETR lives
Every cross-border SWIFT payment to or from Citibank carries a UETR, the 36-character reference in field 121 of the MT103. Citi's commercial clients use CitiDirect, where payment investigations and status sit, but retail customers often have to request the MT103 or UETR from support.
Paste the UETR into uetr.ai and we check the public SWIFT gpi tracker sources we can reach, then explain the status in plain English, for example ACSP for accepted and in process, ACSC for settlement completed, or RJCT for rejected, so you can see which bank in the chain last reported.

Why a Citibank transfer can still go silent with no update
When you start an international bank transfer through Citibank, 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 CitiDirect / Citibank Online may show only the information available to Citibank. 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 CitiDirect / Citibank Online does not show you
Citibank's own dashboard typically reports only the leg of the payment Citibank 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 Citibank, it may travel over the correspondent banking network. If Citibank 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 Citibank 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 Citibank wire stuck?
A Citibank 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 Citibank transfer
A UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference) is a standard 36-character reference commonly used for Swift gpi payment tracking.
Open CitiDirect
Access the CitiDirect commercial portal or your retail Citibank portal, navigate to payments processing, and view details on outbound international wire transfers.
Find the UETR Reference
Look for the SWIFT tracking details or copy of the debit advice. You will locate a 36-character lowercase UUID format called the UETR.
Check with uetr.ai
Enter the Citibank UETR, transfer amount, currency, and date in our miniform. Our engine checks bank trackers for available status information.
Typically located on the Debit Advice or SWIFT GPI receipt. If not visible in your online dashboard, you can request the MT103 file directly from Citibank's customer support.
Citibank wire status codes in plain English
When you track a Citibank 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: Citibank Wire Tracking
What is Citibank's SWIFT code?
CITIUS33 (CITIUS33XXX in full) is the reference SWIFT/BIC code for Citibank, N.A. in New York. Citi uses different BICs for its entities in other countries, so confirm the code that matches the receiving Citi entity on your payment advice.
What is Citibank's SWIFT code for New York or Singapore?
Citibank, N.A. in New York uses CITIUS33 for incoming US dollar wires. Citi's other country entities, such as Singapore or Hong Kong, use their own separate codes. Use the code for the country and entity that is receiving the wire, as shown on your payment instructions.
Is CITIUS33 the same for every Citi country?
No. Citi operates separate legal entities around the world, each with its own BIC (for example in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, the UAE, and Citibank Europe plc in Dublin). Match the code to the country and entity that is receiving the wire.
Does Citibank use an IBAN?
US Citibank accounts use an account number and ABA routing number, not an IBAN. Many overseas Citi entities do use an IBAN, so the answer depends on the country of the receiving account.
How do I track a Citibank wire transfer with a UETR?
Find the 36-character UETR in field 121 of the MT103 or on the payment advice and paste it into uetr.ai to check public bank trackers. Citi remains the official source for settlement confirmation.
Where do I find the UETR for my Citibank transfer?
On the MT103 or SWIFT payment advice. Commercial clients can view payment detail and investigations in CitiDirect; retail customers can request the UETR from Citi.
What does ACSP, ACSC, or RJCT mean on my Citibank payment?
ACSP means accepted and in process, ACSC means settlement completed, and RJCT means rejected. uetr.ai translates these SWIFT gpi status codes into plain English so you know what to do next.
Why is my Citibank wire transfer still pending?
Cross-border wires route through correspondent banks that can hold a payment for compliance checks, cut-off times, or timezone differences. The UETR shows which bank in the chain last reported, so you can ask the right one.
Is CitiDirect the same as uetr.ai?
No. CitiDirect is Citi's own commercial banking portal. uetr.ai is independent: it checks public SWIFT gpi trackers for any bank's UETR, reads only public data, and never moves funds.
Can uetr.ai trace domestic wires for Citibank?
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 Citibank 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.
