Payments Clearing

In payments, more than 85 clearing systems, carrying from 500 to over 13 million payments a day, rely on SWIFT for the secure messaging connectivity and common message standards essential to their smooth operation.

Financial institutions and regulators continue to seek better control of the risks associated with the explosive growth in the value of trading. Globally, risk managers are being asked to measure, monitor and reduce exposure.

In response, industry associations and central banks have developed market infrastructures for clearing and settlement. Because they are multilateral, they need a trusted third party to provide secure, reliable and proven messaging solutions. SWIFT is increasingly used by financial institutions to fill that role.

SWIFT has successfully complemented its position in the wholesale, high value clearing market with a portfolio of messaging solutions for the low-value payments and ACH market.

Proven reliability, availability and resilience make SWIFT a first choice when choosing a market infrastructure provider in both the high and low value payments clearing markets.
