  • GN 02402.376 Coding Peru Bank Data on the Master Beneficiary Record (MBR)
  • This section describes how to code bank data for international direct deposit (IDD) of Title II benefits to a financial institution (FI) in Peru. The Social Security Administration (SSA) stores IDD bank data on the MBR in the same fields used for United States (U.S.) direct deposit. Special coding identifies the data as a Peruvian direct deposit and allows us to route benefit payments through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (FRBKC) and the processor bank in Peru to the beneficiary's local FI.
  • A. Background for coding Peru bank data
  • NOTE: U.S. domestic (i.e., non-border) field offices (FOs) should not attempt to process an IDD request for this country. U.S. domestic FOs must forward all appropriate information to the Office of Earnings and International Operations, Division of International Operations (OEIO, DIO) for processing. For more information on forwarding IDD information, see GN 02402.205C, GN 01010.255, and GN 01702.310C.

  • E. Policy for coding Peruvian bank data
  • The bank data for Peru reflected on the MBR consists of up to 27 characters including the country code of Q for Peru.
  • The FRBKC relies on SSA to provide the complete bank data to ensure correct posting of payments to a customer’s account. If the information is incomplete, the FRBKC rejects the payment and returns the funds to SSA. When establishing or changing IDD bank data for Peru, you can use an SSA system (i.e. Modernized Claims System (MCS), Manual Adjustment Credit and Award Data Entry (MACADE), etc.). However, you must go to ITS.gov to enter the full Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication- Business Identifier Code (SWIFT-BIC). Also, enter the 8-digit National Identity Document (DNI) or the 11-digit Tax ID along with the 8-digit Codigo de Cuenta Interbancario (CCI) Code. Do not code the RTN in ITS.gov, as ITS.gov will propagate this information. If the complete bank account information is not in ITS.gov when the payment processes, the payment rejects and returns to SSA. When usingITS.gov, bank data posts to the MBR within four business days.
