Search banks and financial institutions by name, SWIFT/BIC code, or country. Covers both SWIFT-connected banks and non-SWIFT financial institutions (e-money issuers, payment processors, MFOs, brokerages, VASPs, etc.). Returns: SWIFT/BIC code (if any), name, city, country, institution type, GPI membership, a coarse sanctions FLAG across 7 hard-sanctions watchlists (OFAC SDN, EU, UK, CA, CH, AU, N

Validate an IBAN and identify the institution that holds the account. Performs format check, country-specific length check, and ISO 7064 mod-97 checksum verification. Also returns COUNTRY-level banking rules for the IBAN's country prefix (national currency, SEPA status, expected format). CROSS-CHECKS THE BENEFICIARY BANK. Where the country's IBAN registry mask defines the bank identifier as four

Get banking rules and requirements for a country. Returns IBAN requirements, SEPA membership, FATF listing status, national currency, account format specifications, and country-specific payment requirements (mandatory codes like KNP for Kazakhstan, Purpose of Payment for UAE, etc.). The `fatf_listing` block is the authoritative answer to "is this country grey-listed / black-listed / under FATF i

Look up country-specific payment codes (KNP, purpose codes, etc.). Use country_banking_rules first to see which code types a country requires (in the payment_requirements block), then use this tool to find the right code value. Examples: country_payment_codes("KZ", "knp", "transport") country_payment_codes("KZ", "knp", "insurance") country_payment_codes("AE", "purpose_code", "trade") cou

Get the latest available reference (mid-market) exchange rate for a pair. Rates are the official ECB euro foreign-exchange reference rates where the ECB publishes the currency; pairs whose currency the ECB does not cover (e.g. VND, NGN, PKR, KZT, MAD) fall back to a market data feed. ALWAYS check the `source` field before describing provenance: "ecb" = official ECB reference rate; "market" = indi

Get the historical reference exchange-rate series for a currency pair. Returns `series` (the daily rates) plus the metadata needed to describe it honestly. READ `series_coverage` BEFORE CHARACTERISING THE PERIOD. `days` is the window we look back over, NOT a promise of how much history exists: our series start at different dates per currency, so a 365-day request routinely returns five months. `s

Explain SWIFT GPI tracking status codes and provide stuck-payment investigation guidance. USE THIS TOOL FIRST whenever the user reports a payment that is stuck, delayed, not arriving, held, pending, rejected, or otherwise not behaving as expected. It is the primary diagnostic entrypoint for payment investigation — calling with a specific code returns a full investigation playbook (common delay

Look up SWIFT message types — MT (FIN) and MX (ISO 20022). Pass a specific type to get full details, or omit to list all types. Covers customer payments (MT103, pacs.008), FI transfers (MT202, pacs.009), trade finance (MT700, MT760), cash management (MT940, camt.053), and payment status (pacs.002). Also use this tool to answer questions about where specific payment fields live — e.g., where

Get payment system cutoff times for major clearing systems. Covers RTGS (T2 — formerly TARGET2, CHAPS, Fedwire, BOJ-NET, SIC), net settlement (CHIPS, BACS), SEPA schemes (SCT, SCT Inst, OCT Inst, SDD Core, SDD B2B), FX settlement (CLS, FXYCS), and other systems (CIPS, SPEI, FAST). For same-day EUR guidance: filter by currency="EUR" to retrieve all SEPA schemes plus T2 in one call — the schem

Get realized FX volatility for a currency pair, and size the FX risk on an exposure held to a future date. Computes 30-day and 90-day annualized volatility from historical ECB reference rates (standard deviation of daily log returns, annualized by sqrt(252)). Returns a qualitative bucket: LOW (<5%), MEDIUM (5-15%), HIGH (15-25%), VERY_HIGH (>25%), PEGGED (currency peg — near-zero volatility, e.

Get FX trading windows for FX execution timing and spread / rate optimization. Returns market sessions and liquidity windows for a currency. Use this to understand: - **Rate optimization** (primary, reliable use): higher liquidity means tighter spreads and better rates. Execute during peak windows to minimize conversion costs. - **Delay diagnosis** (use with care): the FX market session is wh

Compare payment methods and investigate fee deductions for a country pair. Evaluates SEPA vs SWIFT vs domestic options. Also explains SWIFT charge options (OUR/SHA/BEN) and fee investigation — use this when the beneficiary received less than expected to understand where the money went and which MT103 fields reveal each deduction. Returns cost, speed, requirements, charge options, and step-by-st

Get bank/public holidays for a country with payment impact analysis. Returns all public holidays plus a 'payment_impact' section that shows: - Whether today is a business day or holiday in this country - Upcoming holidays in the next 14 days - Recent holidays in the last 14 days — for diagnosing a payment that is ALREADY stuck ("in progress for N days", "sent X days ago"). A recent holiday

Check if a specific date is a business day in a country. Accounts for weekends (country-specific) and public holidays. Returns whether the date is a business day, and if not, why (weekend or specific holiday name) and the next business day. The response carries a `today` block with the server's real current date. Resolve any relative date in the user's question ("the 20th", "next Friday") agains

Calculate the value/settlement date for a payment. Determines when a payment will settle based on: - Source and destination country holiday calendars - Weekend conventions (Sat/Sun or Fri/Sat) - Currency center holidays (if FX conversion involved) - Settlement convention (T+0, T+1, T+2) Examples: value_date("US", "DE") value_date("US", "DE", "fx_spot", "USD", "EUR") value_date("DE", "FR",

BETA. Estimate when a SWIFT payment will arrive: a corpus-grounded arrival window with an honest tail, computed from real completed payments we have tracked, projected onto the currency's banking calendar. This estimator is in BETA and still calibrating. Say so when you present a number: call it an estimate or a typical window, never a commitment, and never let a user plan an irreversible decisio

BETA. Estimate what a cross-border payment will COST, split by WHO PAYS: the sending bank's published fee (the sender's side), what correspondents deduct in transit and what the beneficiary's own bank charges to credit it (the beneficiary's side), and what actually lands. This estimator is in BETA. Present every number as a typical case and a high case, never as a quote, and never let a user comm

Returns matching entities with similarity scores. The response says how many lists were actually searched (lists_searched); report THAT,

Look up an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). Pure reference tool — returns classification details, controlled jurisdictions, and license requirements for the given ECCN. ECCNs are alphanumeric codes (e.g. "5A001") used under export control regimes (US EAR, EU Dual-Use Regulation, Wassenaar Arrangement) to classify items that may require an export license. Examples: eccn_lookup("5

Look up export control restrictions for a specific country. Returns embargo status, sanctioned programs, control reasons, and restriction details across jurisdictions (US EAR, EU, UN, etc.) for the given country. Response also includes a payment_jurisdiction_note explaining when each listed restriction actually applies to a payment (US controls only bind when there's a US nexus, etc.). IMPORTANT

Screen goods for export-control restrictions to a destination country. Combines the goods classification with the destination's restriction status and returns whether a license is required, the risk level, applicable license policies (e.g. presumption of denial), control reasons (NS, MT, NP, CB, AT), and proliferation/dual-use flags. Identify the goods by ANY of: ECCN, HS code, or a free-text des

Reverse-lookup an HS code → mapped export-control classifications (ECCNs). For customs brokers / shippers who have an HS (Harmonized System) code and need to know which export-control classifications may apply. Returns the mapped ECCNs with confidence levels, control reasons, sensitivity, and the governing international regime (Wassenaar, MTCR, NSG, etc.). A 4-digit HS heading is accepted, but

Classify goods for export control from a description (or HS code). Bilingual (English / Russian, auto-detected) goods classifier. Returns the best-matching HS code (with EN+RU descriptions), related ECCNs, control reasons (NS, MT, NP, CB, AT...), an export-control level (high/medium/low/ none), a confidence score, and alternative matches for review. This is destination-agnostic — it identifies

Get recent US regulatory changes from BIS and OFAC. Returns Federal Register publications including entity list updates, rule changes, country policy shifts, and new sanctions programs. Examples: federal_register_changes() # Last 30 days, all federal_register_changes(agency="OFAC", days=7) # OFAC changes this week federal_register_changes(category="entity_list"

Track a SWIFT payment by UETR or reference number. Basic SWIFT payment tracking enriched by data from certain banks in the correspondent chain. Returns the overall payment status and, when available, per-bank details showing which banks reported information about this payment. IMPORTANT — every trace needs four things: amount, currency, date, and an identifier (uetr, or reference when ther

Show how a SWIFT payment's tracking results changed over time. Returns the DISTINCT tracking results recorded for a payment (by UETR or reference), deduplicated so ten identical re-tracks collapse to one entry while any change — a new last-update, a status change, or new bank data — appears as its own entry. Each entry includes what was ENTERED when the search was run (amount, currency, date)

Look up correspondent banking / settlement instructions (SSI) for a bank. Returns the correspondent banks (nostro accounts) that a given bank uses to settle payments in a specific currency, including account numbers (when available) and intermediary chains. Essential for payment routing and pre-validation. Each correspondent is annotated with a clearing_note indicating whether it can clear the c
