Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication – or Swift for short – is a cross-border payment system used by banks for international transfers. This tool guarantees a fast and secure transfer of funds, both on the territory of Russia and abroad.
Banks in more than 200 countries use the SWIFT system, which has a daily turnover of about five billion dollars. The security of transfers is guaranteed using the company’s cryptographic encryption standards.
Thus, in Russia, a sufficient number of large banks with a decent reputation continue to operate normally, which means that financial transactions will be carried out in the same mode – quickly and safely.
