Transactions
The ledger of all PesaLink transfers (mfi.pesalink.transaction), inbound and outbound, with their settlement status and bank references. Each record tracks the ISO 20022 message exchange from instruction through acknowledgement to final settlement. Operations staff monitor it to confirm funds reached the counterparty bank.
Workflow
- Open Transactions under PesaLink to list all interbank transfers.
- Filter by direction, status or counterparty bank.
- Open a record to view the ISO 20022 references and status history.
- Confirm settlement acknowledgement from the destination bank.
- Raise a dispute from any transfer that settled incorrectly.
