Spain’s La Caixa bank is piloting SWIFT’s Alliance Integrator as the platform for integrating SWIFT solutions with the bank’s various business applications to optimise the information flow for workers’ remittances.

Workers’ remittances, one of the leading SWIFT2010 initiatives, is an interbank service that provides a standardised infrastructure for market practice, authorisation and consumer-to-consumer cross-border payments.

Says Andreu Purroy, La Caixa IT manager: “Alliance Integrator is an excellent opportunity to automate workers remittances flows and will enable us to quickly leverage the value of SWIFT’s solutions.”

La Caixa bank is also one of the 22 worldwide financial institutions taking part in SWIFT’s Workers’ Remittances solution.
