The FRBKC relies on us to provide complete bank data to ensure correct posting of
payments to a customer’s account. If the information is incomplete, the FRBKC rejects
the payment and returns the funds to our agency.
You may establish or change IDD bank data for Pakistan, using an SSA system (e.g.,
Modernized Claims System (MCS), or Manual Adjustment Credit and Award Data Entry (MACADE)).
You must then go to ITS.gov to enter the following data:
-
-
-
-
-
•
beneficiary address; (no P.O. box address allowed)
-
•
computerized or smart national identity card (ex. “CNIC 1234567890123” or “SNIC 1234567890123”);
-
-
-
•
first and last name of the beneficiary;
NOTE: Technicians must annotate the entire middle name instead of the initial in the payee
legend field on the MBR.
-
-
-
-
•
Society for Worldwide Internet Financial Telecommunication-Business Identifier Code
(SWIFT-BIC).
If the beneficiary does not have a CNIC or SNIC, then enter his or her passport number
in the “Beneficiary ID” field (Use the prefix of “Passport #). If the beneficiary
is a minor child, use the B-Form or Child Registration Certificate (CRC). If the B-form
or CRC is unavailable, request the CNIC or SNIC of the parent or guardian.
1. Obtain SWIFT-BIC code from the FI
The SWIFT code for Pakistan contains 8 characters:
-
•
First four characters - bank code (only letters);
-
•
Next two characters - ISO 3166-1 alpha-two country code (only letters);
-
•
Next two characters - location code (letters and digits) (passive participants have
"1" in the second character); and
You must update ITS.gov using the bank account information prior to processing the initial award to ensure
the beneficiary receives payment. If the complete bank account information is not
in ITS.gov when the payment processes, the payment rejects and returns to our agency.
3. Add or update bank data using an SSA system
When you add or update IDD bank data using an SSA system (e.g. Post Entitlement Online
System (POS), MACADE), you must:
-
•
update ITS.gov on the same day;
-
•
enter all POS direct deposit changes according to normal procedures;
-
•
use the procedures outlined in the following chart when processing within four business
days of the current operational month (COM) cutoff date.
