New York, 25 January - Swift announces today that Mexican bank CIBanco has signed up for Compliance Analytics, a Swift service that helps financial institutions mitigate financial crime risk by analysing their global message traffic on the Swift network.

Compliance Analytics provides global oversight and detailed analysis, enabling us to act rapidly and appropriately to address risks. Our choice of Swift’s tool is an illustration of our commitment to invest in leading edge technology to address the financial industry’s most pressing challenges."
