What is MT536 used for?
MT536 reports securities transactions posted to a safekeeping account during a statement period. It helps custody and investment-operations teams reconcile settled movements and account activity.
Information to inspect
Review the statement reference and period, safekeeping account, security identification, transaction references, receive or deliver direction, settlement date, quantity and cash details. Repeated sequence boundaries determine which fields belong to each transaction.
Posted does not explain every lifecycle event. Reconcile the report with confirmations, status messages and the custodian's service-level rules.
