What we're working on
CBDCs: Paving the way for digital currencies
Today, central banks all over the world are exploring their own digital currencies. To prevent fragmentation, we’re conducting collaborative experiments that enable global interoperability between CBDCs and existing international payment infrastructure. By doing so, we’re ensuring these new forms of value can be used in the future.
Tokenisation: Facilitating interoperability between blockchain platforms
An untapped market, tokenisation has shown the potential to increase financial inclusion and diversify investment portfolios. To support adoption, we’re working to help our members use their existing Swift connection to access the different blockchain platforms that exist around the world.
AI: Leading the fight against fraud
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way businesses operate – within finance and beyond. Learn how we’re using this powerful new technology to bolster institutions’ fraud defences and keep funds safe.
Unlocking digital trade
Digitising trade could save the industry $6.5 billion a year, reduce fraud risks and make the entire process more efficient. To help realise these benefits, we’re collaborating with the industry to create a solution capable of scaling the use of the electronic documents that are critical to digital trade.
