Change SWIFTNet Security Officers of a Service Bureau

When you replace a main SWIFTNet Security Officer, the remaining online Security Officers must revoke/disable the former Security Officer, and they must register the replacing Security Officer online, by means of the Local Registration Authority (LRA) module. A representative of your human resources department or a public officer (for example, a notary) must authenticate the identity of the Security Officer and must confirm the authority of the Security Officer on the printed form.

For information on the Security Officer's role in the management of certificates, see the SWIFTNet Certificate Administration Guide and the SWIFTNet Service Description.


The submission includes the following steps:
  • Step 1 (online): Complete the replace main SWIFTNet Security Officers for Service Bureau form, and print the duly completed form when the transaction is confirmed (in step 3 of the form). Click on the "Print" button at the bottom left of the form.
  • Step 2 (offline): Obtain all the signatures that are required on the printed form. Send the original via express courier service to S.W.I.F.T. SCRL, End-to-End Ordering-Customer Security Management, Avenue Adèle 1, 1310 La Hulpe, Belgium.

After the receipt of the original form, SWIFT will send a confirmation letter to the already registered main Security Officer. This letter will mention the identity of your new Security Officer.
