What is the International payment tracker?
Welcome to the Deutsche Bank International payments tracker help guide. The paymemt tracker provides our clients and their customers the ability to trace cross-border payments that are processed through the Deutsche Bank branch network, utilising the Unique End-to-End Transaction Reference (UETR) identifier that is now required on all cross border transactions processed via the SWIFT network to provide you with up to the minute status on your transactions
UETR search
All cross border transactions processed via the SWIFT network require a unique identifier called the Unique End-to-End Transaction Reference (UETR). With this identifier, anyone is able to get the current status of their transactions. If you do not know your UETR, please refer to the "payment details" search option.
Payment details search
The paymemt details search allows you to get details of a transaction without the need to know the UETR. To locate your payment, we require the following information: payment reference, payment creation date, instructed amount and currency. Using these we will be able to locate your payment and report back the status

FAQs
What is a UETR?
A UETR is very much like the tracking number couriers use when you send or receive a parcel. The sender issues a unique, unalterable reference which allows a payment to be located at any time, by any of the parties in the chain. UETRs are fully digitised and totally transparent − leading to fast, efficient processing. The sender is also automatically notified of any status changes applied by any banks handling the payment and − crucially − confirmation that the funds have been credited to the beneficiary or rejected at any point in the payment chain.
