This FIN-based feature generates a message copy to a third destination based on service parameters defined by the Service Administrator. http://www.swift.com/news/products_and_services/FINInform_Y_CopyMon, 9 May 2011For each destination, the user-defined delivery subsets determine how destination-directed messages are queued for delivery to the receiver. Each delivery subset can be accessed by one LT at a time. To enable access to the same delivery subsets by more than one LT, you must share your delivery subsets across your LTs. http://www.swift.com/news/products_and_services/FIN_shared_delivery_subsets_migrationThu, 10 Mar 2011New options on Alliance Connect available nowhttp://www.swift.com/news/products_and_services/new_alliance_connect_optionsThu, 13 Oct 2011The SWIFT Connectivity Test tool checks the internet access line of your Alliance Connect Bronze or Silver connectivity. http://www.swift.com/news/products_and_services/connectivity_test_toolTue, 1 Mar 2011SWIFT can help you get there http://www.swift.com/news/products_and_services/Not_on_7_0_yetTue, 31 May 2011As of release 7.0, SWIFT mandates that all FileAct and InterAct interfaces be qualified. This ensures interoperability with both SWIFT and correspondents, and means that you must upgrade to a release 7.0 qualified interface before the end of support of release 6.x on 31 March 2012. The list of qualified interfaces can be found on the Partners section of swift.com. http://www.swift.com/news/products_and_services/R7_qualification_for_RMA_in_SCOREThu, 3 Mar 2011http://www.swift.com/news/partners/partner_meetingMon, 7 Mar 2011http://www.swift.com/news/standards/importance_standardsTue, 5 Jul 2011http://www.swift.com/news/standards/standards_landscapeMon, 5 Sep 2011Demystifying standards – part 2http://www.swift.com/news/standards/what_makes_good_standardWed, 10 Aug 2011Representatives from a variety of segments of the financial industry met in Hong Kong on 1 April 2011. As an agreed action, SWIFT assisted the industry to establish three best practice working groups: Cash & Trade, FX, MM, derivatives and Securities.http://www.swift.com/news/standards/chinese_Yuan_projectsMon, 25 Jul 2011The quality of the standing settlement instruction (SSI) data that financial institutions hold and share with their counterparties is vital. But the way SSIs are currently transmitted is far from ideal. The new FIN messages set for launch in SWIFT’s Standards Release 2011 will bring much-needed structure and standardisation to the communication of SSI information among counterparties. This will enable financial institutions and corporates to avoid costly payment errors and reduce operational risk. http://www.swift.com/news/standards/standardised_ssiMon, 4 Jul 2011Effective use of standards can make all the difference to the fortunes of a business, an industry, or even a country. The standardised equipment and training of the Roman army often enabled it to overcome enemies much greater in number. At the celebrated Battle of Alesia in 52BC, Julius Caesar defeated a combined Gallic force over four times the size of his own, changing the course of history in the process.http://www.swift.com/news/standards/semantic_standardTue, 16 Aug 2011http://www.swift.com/news/standards/ISO20022_Business_Model_reviews_underwayMon, 4 Apr 2011Demystifying standards – part 4http://www.swift.com/news/standards/switching_standardsMon, 29 Aug 2011SWIFT announced today the availability of the Japanese version of its popular ‘ISO 20022 For Dummies' book.

Every business needs adequate liquidity in order to maintain its day-to-day operations. Following the credit crisis and with new stringent regulations under Basel III on their way, companies face many challenges as they try to optimise their working capital management. Credit has become more expensive to both banks and corporates. And the cash conversion cycle has significantly slowed down. http://www.swift.com/news/corporates/working_capitalWed, 11 May 2011SWIFT is exploring the possibility of creating a central utility to ease consistent adoption of Electronic Bank Account Management (EBAM) standards globally. http://www.swift.com/news/corporates/ebam_hubFri, 13 May 2011South East Asia treasurers learn how SWIFT can help optimise their treasury operationshttp://www.swift.com/news/corporates/First_SWIFT_Summit_Corporates_SingaporeTue, 31 May 2011http://www.swift.com/news/training/training_certificationFri, 10 Jun 2011Ready for the 7.0 adventure?
