KIR, the Polish automated clearing house (ACH), has signed a SWIFT training partner contract, which will enable KIR to offer Polish language-based training in the payments and securities arena.

The move follows the signing of a service partnership agreement between KIR and SWIFT at the 2005 Sibos exhibition in Copenhagen.

“We see it as a logical add-on for this relationship,” says Steven Martin, Head of Training, SWIFT. “KIR have a network of banks that they work with, and this reach will allow the training business to develop in the Polish market.”
