Partner Programme
SWIFT engages in partnerships with providers of quality services and applications for the financial community. SWIFT certifies business applications, specialists and interfaces for compliance with SWIFT requirements and standards, and registers service bureaux through our Shared Infrastructure Programme. We also engage with a select group of SWIFT Business Partners on a strategic basis in specific regions and market segments.
Our Partner Programme helps our customers to make well-informed purchasing and implementation decisions. It enables providers to differentiate their offering in a crowded marketplace, and enhances our global market coverage and customer service.
The first step in building a relationship with SWIFT is registration. The SWIFT Partner Programme uses strict criteria that are SWIFT-specific and are reviewed on a yearly basis. Several partnership levels are possible, depending on your business area and qualifications.

The SWIFT Certified programme provides accreditation to third-party companies that offer SWIFT-related services and solutions to end-customers. The programme covers the following categories:
- Our SWIFT Certified Applications programme allows third parties to certify the SWIFT-compliance of their financial applications.
- Our SWIFT Certified Specialists programme allows vendors to certify their SWIFT knowledge and service delivery capabilities.
- Our SWIFT Certified Interfaces programme ensures that a third-party interface product meets SWIFT’s requirements and standards, and guarantees interoperability with SWIFT messaging interfaces.
The SWIFT Certified programme replaces the previous SWIFTReady labels.
Through its Shared Infrastructure Programme, SWIFT certifies service bureaux that offer third-party connectivity to the SWIFT network.

Service bureaux are part of the SWIFT Partner Programme, although they are governed by a separate legal framework (the Shared Infrastructure Programme).
