About Swift’s gpi for financial institution transfers service
With the gpi for financial institution transfers service, financial institutions are now able to track and trace both incoming and outgoing financial institution transfers sent over Swift and key non-Swift clearing and settlement channels. Firms also receive confirmation when the payment reaches the beneficiary’s account servicing institution and when it is credited on the beneficiary’s account.
This enables participants to identify potential exceptions, monitor their settlement and counterparty exposure in real time, and get more accurate and timely information to support their institutional intra-day liquidity forecasting and cash management.
