Juan Carlos Botrán, Head of Swift Iberia and Fernando Rodrigues, Swift User Group Chairperson for Portugal welcomed the delegates and highlighted the great levels of attendance as well as he importance of the event for both Swift and the Portuguese financial community.
Referring back to the previous Business Forum, back in 2016, Botrán reminded the audience that while discussions at the time had focused on the changes that were coming up for the financial industry, now that the change has come, it is time for our communities to act fast and to create value: value for our clients, value for our companies, and value for the banking industry as a whole.
He gave two examples of the value that was created together: gpi, which has become the new norm for international payments and the CSP programme, which aims at making the financial ecosystem even more secure.
