I regularly receive a single-page payment advice in PDF format showing only the UTR code. I need a lightweight tool that can take that PDF, pull out the UTR, query the SWIFT network, and return the full trail of the funds—every intermediary bank involved, time stamps, references, and the final credit to our account. Complete transaction history is essential; basic origin/destination details are not enough. A simple command-line script, small desktop utility, or slim web interface is fine as long as it: • ingests the PDF directly (or manual re-typing) • resolves the UTR through SWIFT and maps each hop in the chain • outputs a clear, human-readable report

This sounds less like a PDF extraction problem and more like making sure the UTR can be turned into a reliable trace report without manual chasing. I’d start by parsing a few sample payment advices first, because banks often format UTR-only PDFs differently, then add a fallback field for manual entry when the PDF text is scanned or inconsistent. After that, I’d build the lookup layer around whatever SWIFT access/API you already have available, normalize the response, and generate a readable report showing each intermediary hop, timestamps, references, and final credit status. The important part is handling “no result”, partial matches, duplicate UTRs, and restricted SWIFT responses clearly, rather than pretending the trail is complete. A small Python CLI or slim web page would be enough here. Do you already have access to a SWIFT tracking API/service, or should the tool integrate with an existing bank portal/export? Ready to start.

Hi, I can help build a lightweight solution to extract UTR details from payment advice PDFs and generate a clear transaction trail report. I understand the key requirement is not just reading the PDF, but tracing the complete payment journey with intermediary banks, timestamps, references, and final credit details. I would first create a reliable UTR extraction flow, then connect it with the appropriate banking/SWIFT data source available to your organization and format the results into an easy-to-read report. I can build this as a simple web tool, desktop utility, or command-line solution depending on your workflow and security requirements. I’d be happy to discuss your SWIFT access options and recommend the most practical implementation approach. Best Regards, Fizza Nadeem K

Parsing UTR codes from PDF payment advices is exactly the kind of Python task I can knock out fast. I would use pdfplumber to extract the UTR, then build a simple desktop tool that traces the payment through the relevant API or banking portal and displays the result cleanly. Can start today and deliver in 2 days. The bid reflects the description as written and may adjust after we talk. Want to jump on a quick call?

I understand you're looking for a lightweight application that can extract the UTR code from a payment advice PDF, process it efficiently, and generate a clear transaction report based on the available payment information. Could you please let me know whether you already have authorized access to a SWIFT service or banking API that provides transaction tracking? This will help determine the best integration approach, since detailed SWIFT transaction history is only available through authorized financial institutions. Final deliverables: • Automatic UTR extraction from PDF (with manual UTR entry as a fallback) • Lightweight desktop application, web application, or command-line tool (based on your preference) • Secure integration with your available banking/SWIFT APIs • Clear and easy-to-read transaction report • Well-structured source code with complete documentation • Installation and setup guide • 1 month of support after project completion Estimated development timeline: 5–7 days (depending on API availability and integration requirements). Looking forward to discussing your project and getting started.

Hi, this is Joshua from Davis. I have strong experience building small tools that extract data and turn it into clear reports. I understand you need a lightweight way to read a UTR from a PDF, trace the payment through SWIFT, and show the full fund trail. I can build a simple and reliable tool that ingests the PDF or manual entry, extracts the UTR, checks the trace data, and returns a clean report with every hop, timestamp, reference, and final credit. I would implement it with a small parser for PDF extraction, a secure backend to query the trace source, and a clean output layer for human readable results. If needed, I can deliver it as a command line script, desktop app, or slim web interface with a focused workflow. I can communicate in real time in your time zone and can provide a simple demo or part of the project within 12 hours of starting. Q1: What SWIFT or banking access do you already have for the trace lookup? Q2: Do you want the output as PDF, text, or both? Q3: Should the tool support only one UTR at a time or batch lookups too? Best regards, Joshua

Rahul here, connecting regarding your UTR to SWIFT transaction trail tool requirement. Extracting a UTR from a PDF and querying the full SWIFT payment chain every intermediary, timestamp, and reference requires both clean PDF parsing and proper SWIFT network API access, which is the critical piece to confirm upfront. With 10+ years of backend development and financial API integration experience, I can build the lightweight tool in Python covering PDF ingestion, UTR extraction, and structured report output. However, direct SWIFT network queries require access through SWIFT's gpi API, which is only available to financial institutions or authorised partners I'll need to confirm what SWIFT access or banking API credentials you currently have before scoping the query layer. Could you share what SWIFT or banking API access you have available? I can start immediately once that's confirmed.

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I have hands-on experience building Python tools that extract structured data from single-page PDFs and then enrich it via payment network APIs, having delivered several similar builds. For a past project I parsed UTR-like codes from bank advice PDFs using pdfplumber, validated them against a SWIFT-compatible endpoint, and reconstructed MT message hops into a CSV with timestamps and intermediary BICs, which helped trace a missing credit. I'd usually start by extracting the UTR with pdfplumber or PyPDF2, then call the SWIFT gpi/API or an onboarded SOAP REST endpoint to walk each MT or MX hop, storing results as JSON and rendering a simple HTML or text report. Would be good to align on which SWIFT access you have and whether MT messages or ISO20022 is preferred so I can confirm the query approach. Looking forward to hearing from you, Aril

I can build a Python-based CLI tool that extracts UTR codes from your PDFs using PyPDF2 or pdfplumber, then queries SWIFT network APIs to trace the full payment chain. The tool will parse each intermediary bank hop with timestamps and transaction references, then generate a clean, formatted report showing the complete fund trail from origin to your account. I'll handle PDF ingestion, API integration, and output formatting all in one lightweight script that you can run locally. Happy to start with a working prototype in the first 2 days.

Greetings, I see you're looking for a tool that can simplify the process of tracking payments through UTR codes in PDF format. You need a solution that can extract the UTR, query the SWIFT network, and provide a detailed history of the transaction. This is crucial for understanding every step of the funds' journey. To tackle this, I would develop a lightweight application that directly ingests the PDF or allows for manual input. Using Python, I would create a script that integrates with the SWIFT API to map each intermediary bank involved, ensuring a clear and concise report for your review. With experience in data processing and API integration, I can ensure the tool is user-friendly and efficient, allowing you to quickly access the complete transaction history you need.

Hi! I can build this, and I want to be straight with you on the one part that decides the whole design — the SWIFT trace. The PDF side is easy: a small Python tool that ingests your single-page payment advice, reliably pulls out the UTR (with a manual-entry fallback), and produces a clean, human-readable report of the full hop-by-hop trail once we have the trace data. The full intermediary-bank trail, timestamps and references can only come from SWIFT gpi — and gpi tracking needs institutional access (a bank's SWIFT gpi API, Alliance Lite2, or your bank's tracker endpoint). No public source exposes the complete hop chain. So the honest question, same as others have asked: do you have (or can your bank give you) a SWIFT gpi API / credential I can integrate against? If yes, I'll wire the tool straight to it and map every hop. If not, I'll build the PDF extraction + report framework and integrate the moment access is available, so nothing is wasted. Tell me which access you have and share a sample PDF — I'll scope the exact build around it and start right away.
