Protect your core payment systems

Swift Payment Controls (PCS) can help you to detect payment anomalies that can be indicative of fraud affecting your institution, your customers or counterparties, or of an operational error.

Payment Controls screens outgoing Swift payment messages against rules  you have configured based on your risk appetite and business needs. Alerting and blocking takes place in real-time, so you can intercept suspicious messages before they are released, preventing financial loss or reputational damage to your institution.

Payment Controls screens all your outgoing MT103, 202 COV and 202 payment messages, as well as their ISO equivalents. From August 2022, Payment Controls will leverage pseudonymised account information which has been shared by the Swift community to help users address additional risk-scenarios at the customer and account level.
