Interface qualification programme  

SWIFT runs a qualification programme for partners and customers that develop SWIFT interfaces. The programme ensures that the interface products meet SWIFT's requirements (correct adherence to protocols, implementation of mandatory features) and guarantees interoperability between messaging interfaces.

To be qualified, an interface has to pass stringent integration testing and meet the conformance requirements defined by SWIFT. To ensure operability and business continuity, customers are not allowed to connect to SWIFT through an interface that has not been properly qualified by SWIFT.
