SWIFTNet Connectivity
Corporations that operate across countries are often required to maintain multiple banking relationships. In order to make payments and collection account statements, they are often forced to create and maintain numerous connections with proprietary banking systems. Managing all of these connection points can put undue strain on in-house IT resources, drive up administrative costs, and increase operational risk.
The international SWIFT network helps address these growing challenges by allowing corporations to use SWIFTNet for all their bank communication requirements. SWIFT handles cross-border payments for more than 10,000 financial institutions and corporations in 210 countries, letting them exchange financial information securely and reliably and thereby lowering costs and reducing risk. For corporations, SWIFT provides a single standardized access point to worldwide banking partners for cash and treasury management along with trade and supply chain services.
While many corporate treasuries are turning to SWIFTNet, implementing and maintaining in-house SWIFT connectivity can be costly and time-consuming.
