Inward Remittance — Corridor Fee / Conversion Income
Recording an inward remittance from abroad and earning a currency conversion spread.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD Nostro Account (Received) | Asset (+) | 7,100.00 | - |
| Customer JOD Account (Credited Net) | Liability (+) | - | 7,080.00 |
| FX Conversion Income (Spread) | Revenue (+) | - | 20.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
On inward remittances, the bank earns a FX spread by converting at a rate slightly less favorable than the interbank mid rate. The JOD 20 spread is the bank's income on the conversion. Remittance corridors (GCC-Jordan) are a major revenue source for Jordanian banks.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
Inward remittances are received via SWIFT MT103 and credited to the beneficiary's account after AML and sanctions screening. In Oracle FLEXCUBE FT, 'FTTRONL' handles inward transfers. The FX conversion uses the bank's prevailing buying rate for the currency.
⚠️ Audit Flags
CBJ AML regulations require suspicious inward transfers to be reported immediately via the goAML system. Auditors check that all inward remittances from high-risk jurisdictions are subjected to enhanced due diligence. FX rates applied must be within CBJ's permitted spread from the official rate.
📄 Required Documentation
SWIFT MT103 (received), OFAC/sanctions screening clearance, goAML suspicious transaction report (if applicable), AML monitoring system clearance, and FX conversion rate confirmation.
