KTT PAYMASTER

KTT stands for Key Telegraphic Transfer. They simply Key in the transfer. They do not actually send any money – just send a telegram asking the receiving Bank to “cover it” and put the money into Y’s account, and X’s bank will cover it. X’s bank takes money out of X’s account so you, X think the money has been sent – when in fact it hasn’t. It goes to X’s Bank’s account only and all Banks are subordinate to their country’s Central Bank. All banks have an account with their Central Bank which how SWIFT works so effectively.

With regards this transaction, in X’s Paymaster statement it will show that this transaction has gone to Y. But in fact, NO money has gone to Y. It has simply been in a telegram from Bank X to Bank Y. Based on this Bank Y puts “monies” into their client’s account. But these monies have not come specifically from X – they are in effect “promised monies” and in reality, the monies from Bank Y. The receiving client is credited with the Bank Y money – and this used to take two days. At this juncture Bank X owes a debt to Bank Y. It is a bank-to-bank debt.

Unfortunately, there are a number of people wrongfully doing KTT transactions – illegally and illegitimately. Going back to Bank X sending a transfer notice to Bank Y, based on the telegram, Bank Y credits its client. But the sending bank has not sent it yet. So, if a fake document is presented to Bank X to act on, and X KTT sends the telegram to Bank Y, Bank Y acts in good faith the monies will follow. Bank Y credits its own funds to its client irrespective it has or will receive the funds.

To the cheating receiving client, they see they have $N million in their account and start to distribute it. But funds have never actually been received and should not be able to be distributed.

This is the risk for the Pro Law KTT paymaster accounts. If the funds are not real irrespective whether they have been distributed – once reconciliation occurs the funds get sucked back from the Pro Law Paymaster account. And this is what many of the crooks do to try to cheat and take advantage of the KTT system.

There are many crooks and fraudsters who are wise to this flaw in the KTT system and who want to take advantage of it. This is why with any Client looking to use KTT Pro Law requires open and honest presentation of the origins and history of the funds. This may require order sheets, invoices, and photographs of proof of delivery. The Client will also have to produce a Proof of Transfer (POT) of the sent funds from their sending bank.
