SWIFT, top global banks to work on blockchain-based overhaul
Business World Philippines
|September 30, 2025
Global financial messaging network SWIFT and more than 30 global banks announced on Monday they were now working “at pace” on making cross-border payments instantaneous and on a system capable of handling the various new forms of digital money.
-
SWIFT, a key part of the world’s financial architecture, said the institutions were collaborating on a blockchain-based “shared digital ledger” they see as vital for modernizing international bank transactions.
The timeline is yet to be defined, but it will initially focus on enabling real-time 24/7 cross-border payments, which should also make the process cheaper given it can currently take days.
