Partner programme

As a SWIFT customer, how can you be sure that you are buying a solution from a third-party supplier that is compliant with SWIFT? How do you choose a company to help you with your SWIFT-related integration, implementation and training and be certain that they have the expertise to perform the job? SWIFT’s certification programmes and partnerships help you to answer these questions.



The SWIFT partnership model
SWIFT is implementing a new partnership model, as described below. Service Partners and Business Partners remain, but have been renamed respectively into SWIFTReady service providers and regional partners. SWIFTReady application providers offer applications that have been certified by SWIFT.
Regional and global partners

SWIFT partners have a close working relationship with SWIFT, driven by measured customer value. A Partner relationship entails a commercial agreement, including joint sales and marketing plans. 

Solution providers

Solution providers follow the SWIFT certification programmes for SWIFTReady applications and SWIFTReady services. Other providers offer a SWIFT qualified interface or indirect connectivity to SWIFT customers through their Service Bureau. 

Registered vendors

These companies have registered with Partner Management to receive information and to purchase SWIFT products and software licenses. Registered vendors do have a business relationship with SWIFT, but they have not taken part in a SWIFT certification programme or formalised their relationship yet. 


Network Partners
The scope of SWIFT's new partnership model does not include the Network Partners in their network provisioning role. Details about Network Partner can be found under the Solutions tab
