All SWIFT messages include the literal "<tt>MT</tt>" (Message Type). This is followed by a three-digit number that denotes the message category, group and type. Consider the example <tt>MT103</tt>:

The first digit (<tt>1</tt>) represents the category. A category denotes messages that relate to particular financial instruments or services such as cash transfer (<tt>1</tt>), treasury (<tt>3</tt>), or cash management (<tt>9</tt>). The category denoted by <tt>1</tt> is cash transfer.

The second digit (<tt>0</tt>) represents a group of related parts in a transaction life cycle. The group indicated by <tt>0</tt> is a financial institution transfer.

The third digit (<tt>3</tt>) is the type that denotes the specific message. There are several hundred message types across the categories. The type represented by <tt>3</tt> is a notification.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.swift.com/standards/standards-resources|title=Standards document centre|date=2015-08-25|website=SWIFT|access-date=2016-04-29}}</ref>
