About - The SWIFT Payment System :
What it is?
&bull; The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is a standardized, secure messaging network that financial institutions use to transmit instructions and information-such as money transfers-via standardized codes (SWIFT/BIC codes). It is a messaging platform, not a settlement or fund-holding bank.
Organisation : Founded in 1973 and headquartered in La Hulpe, Belgium, it operates as a member-owned cooperative under Belgian law, collectively supervised by the G10 central banks.
Aim : To provide a unified, highly&nbsp;secure, reliable, and standardized communications network for cross- border financial transactions, replacing error-prone telex technology with automated messaging.&nbsp;
Key features :&nbsp;
&bull; Pure Messaging Architecture:&nbsp;Transmits payment orders, letters of credit, and securities instructions between institutions, while the actual movement of money relies on bilateral correspondent banking accounts (Nostro/Vostro).
&bull; Standardized BIC/ISO Protocol : standardized 8- or 11-character Business Identifier Codes (BIC) and the ISO 20022 messaging framework to ensure error-free global transaction routing.
&bull; Global&nbsp;Scale &amp; Reach&nbsp;: Connects over&nbsp;11,000 banking and securities organizations across more than 200 countries and territories, processing dozens of millions of financial messages daily.
&bull; Belgian/EU Legal Jurisdiction :&nbsp;Governed under Belgian and European Union law, which obligates it to comply with EU sanctions and sanction orders.
&bull; High&nbsp;Security &amp; Redundancy :&nbsp;Employs end-to-end hardware encryption, dedicated secure network lines, and geographically distributed operations centers to prevent outages and cyber manipulation.&nbsp;
Other Key Alternatives to SWIFT:&nbsp;
&bull; CIPS&nbsp;(China) :&nbsp;Launched in 2015 to internationalise the yuan, it enables cross-border RMB messaging, clearing and settlement across more than 120 countries
&bull; SPFS&nbsp;(Russia) :&nbsp;Developed in 2014 following Western sanctions, it connects Russian banks with foreign institutions, including Iran's SEPAM system, for financial messaging.
&bull; Project mBridge (Multi - CBDC) Platform :
A blockchain-based platform developed by participating central banks to enable direct cross-border settlement using Central Bank Digital Currencies, bypassing SWIFT and conventional&nbsp;correspondent banking.
