Programme
We kick off Swift Connect Nordics with a special address from Swift's Thomas Peeters. Join us for a review of our community’s recent successes and an overview of the exciting developments still to come.
A look at the challenges and opportunities facing the Nordic financial ecosystem with leaders from the region.
Moderated by Thomas Peeters, Head of Europe North, Swift.
Harnessing the potential in payment modernisation projects
Join us for a discussion on strategic approaches and best practice on the journey to modernising inter-bank payments. Such projects bring the opportunity to identify core customer needs, leverage technology and trends, and create new ways of working, ensuring your business is well positioned for the future.
Fast and frictionless international payments are at the top of the agenda for financial institutions, their clients, and regulators. We’ll look at the latest developments in Europe (Instant payment regulation, Confirmation of Payee and One Leg Out) and show you what Swift is doing to support the Nordics community.
Frictions in the payments process add additional costs and operational challenges for financial institutions and their clients. We’ll discuss where frictions arise, uncover the root cause and look at what the Swift community is doing to tackle them.
As a community, we're striving for global interoperability in financial transactions. This is more important than ever to provide the instant and frictionless experience that customers expect. We’ll explore the evolving payment systems and structures of today and tomorrow that will underpin the interoperability landscape beyond just the rails.
Moderated by François Maigre, Head of Payments EMEA, Go To Market. Swift.

Powering payments
Our ambitions for fast and frictionless transactions are aligned with the G20’s goals for cross-border payments around speed, cost, transparency, choice and access. Find out how the Swift community has been putting in place the building blocks that make this possible, all on the secure and reliable foundations that are core to our network.
Transforming post-trade transparency
As more markets move to T+1 and financial penalties for late settlement ramp up, greater transparency into the trading lifecycle can help the industry avoid costly fails. Find out how the Swift community is collaborating to tackle this head on through the Unique Transaction Identifier and Swift Securities View.
As Swift Connect Nordics draws to an end, we'll look back the highlights from the day, including key takeaways, lessons learned, and core insights from the community.
