Our community

Our role in the global economy is unique. And with that comes a unique structure too. Headquartered in Belgium, we’re a global cooperative owned by our members and governed by the world’s central banks, including the National Bank of Belgium, the US Federal Reserve, and the European Central Bank.

Who we are

Ever since our inception in 1973, we’ve been helping value get where it needs to go—quickly, reliably, and securely. We’re trusted to do this every instant of every day.

Organisation & Governance

Swift is a cooperative society under Belgian law and is owned and controlled by its shareholders

Our community

As a neutral global cooperative, Swift is defined by its community of users around the world. At Swift we believe we can achieve more together. By drawing from the resources of our global community, we are able to harness the potential of our franchise for the benefit of our users all across the world.

What we do

At our core, we’re a globally inclusive infrastructure that the world trusts and relies on to send and receive financial transactions.

Legal

The Swift By-laws define the object of the company and contain the fundamental rules on the admission of shareholders, shareholding, the election and functioning of the Board of Directors, and holding of General Meetings.

Swift Partner Programme

Our mission is to deliver instant and frictionless transactions that elevate customer experience and unlock new capabilities for the global financial services community. To achieve this, we rely on collaboration with our entire community as we continue to evolve to meet the needs of all our members.

Vision and mission

Swift is guided by a clear vision and mission, underpinned by a commitment to excellence, collaboration, and inclusivity.

Careers at Swift

At Swift we punch above our weight. We are a company of more than 3,000 diverse and talented people on a mission to innovate global payments.

Media Centre

We provide our community with a platform for messaging, standards for communicating and we offer products and services to facilitate access and integration; identification, analysis and financial crime compliance.

Swift is fundamentally transforming the international payments and securities experience and, together with our community, we are delivering faster, frictionless transactions across the globe.
