Some countries require country specific information based on regulations upon making remittance. Check the table below to enter the required information in the "Purpose of Remittance" fields.
This does not apply to ISO20022 compliant payment types. For ISO20022 compliant payments, refer to the page Guidance for Purpose of Remittance and Regulatory Reporting.

Remittances may be delayed or not executed if requirements are not met.
The execution of remittances will not be guaranteed due to more stringent regulations.
For details on country-specific information and remittance purpose codes, check with MUFG branches, beneficiaries, or refer to the respective central bank's website.
