Partner Corner

SWIFT has established a working relationship with various regional and global companies including application vendors, interface providers, implementation and integration experts, and local agents for sales.

The partnership model is defined from a customer's point of view and is based on establishing and measuring the value such partnerships bring to SWIFT customers.

Join the partner programme

To join the partner programme, you first need to become a SWIFT registered vendor. By certifying your services or applications, your company moves to the solution provider category. Should your company establish a commercial relationship with SWIFT, it would become a SWIFT regional or global partner.

Regional and global partners

SWIFT partners have a close working relationship with SWIFT, driven by measured customer value. Partners are selected by the SWIFT Partner Management team together with the regional sales force. A Partner relationship entails a commercial agreement, including joint sales and marketing plans.

SWIFTReady providers

SWIFTReady providers have one or several SWIFT certified solution components: SWIFTReady applications, SWIFTReady services, SWIFTReady connectivity or SWIFTReady consultancy.

SWIFTReady application providers offer applications to customers beyond the SWIFT interface to support a multitude of business processes with embedded functions for SWIFT message generation and processing. This also includes middleware providers and e-commerce applications.

SWIFTReady services providers offer implementation and integration services with SWIFT Certified Experts. They provide services around the SWIFTNet infrastructure implementation and maintenance as well as the integration of SWIFT's solutions.

The SWIFTReady consultancy programme defines a framework enabling consultancy firms and SWIFT to develop the SWIFT for corporates business.

Finally, The SWIFTReady Connectivity label is awarded to shared infrastructure providers that meet higher standards of resiliency and security

Registered vendors

Registered vendors have registered with Partner Management to receive information and to purchase SWIFT products and software licenses. SWIFT does not certify the solutions offered by these registered vendors. Therefore they are not listed or published in any SWIFT collateral or website.
When a company first joins the SWIFT partner programme, it is in the registered vendor category, until it goes through SWIFT certification programmes for SWIFTReady applications, services, consultancy or connectivity, in which case the company becomes a solution provider.
