Transforming transactions together with the global financial community

Over the next two years and beyond, we’re evolving our capabilities to enable frictionless and instant payments and securities transactions from one account to another, anywhere in the world.

We’re doing this by transforming the Swift platform based on the concept of transaction management. By bringing together data and common services, we aim to further improve end-to-end efficiency and unlock bold opportunities for our community.

Shaping the future of payments and securities

Shaping the future of payments and securities

Instant, frictionless payments

Our vision is for a world where payments are instant and frictionless, from account to account, anywhere across the globe. Find out how our platform can help you achieve that. 

Smarter securities

Together with our community, we are transforming our platform to help post-trade players go faster, work smarter, improve transparency and reduce costs.

How the Swift platform is evolving

Across payments and securities, our mission is to deliver instant and frictionless transactions that improve the client experience and unlock new capabilities across the financial services community. This will be achieved through an enhanced platform that integrates payments, securities, trade, and FX into a single solution. This will enable us to iteratively unlock value for all of our community and create a rich ecosystem for the future.

Our enhanced platform will maintain full transaction data at the centre, and will orchestrate the interactions of participants in a transaction chain, mediating between users of different protocols and formats, to ensure that no data is lost, corrupted or over-written in the process. This standardisation will help the industry to minimise friction, optimise speed and provide end-to-end data integrity.
