SWIFT is a global provider of financial messaging services, having worked its way into the fabric of the Payments space over the past several years. The group has collaborated with many venues and firms to help endanger a more transparent approach to cloud and digital payments.

According to Dana Brants, Head of Services, SWIFT, in a recent statement on the launch of SWIFTSmart, “Education best practices have significantly evolved over the last 30 years. With user communities increasingly looking for flexibility in terms of how they access and participate in training courses, eLearning is the future.”
“Today, over 40% of fortune 500 companies are now using some form of educational technology. SWIFT is in a great place to revolutionise its training programme, offering a more digital and interactive approach that supports growing customer requirements,” she added.
“Effective training is important to ensure institutions get the most value out of SWIFT’s products and services. We are looking forward to using SWIFTSmart as it will give us the flexibility to train more staff globally at a pace that supports business requirements, while reducing traveling costs,” reiterated Helen Nazzaro, Director, SWIFT Relationship Management at Citi.
Earlier this week, SWIFT made headlines after it integrated Reval’s solutions suite to help automate its cash and liquidity management across its global messaging network. The assimilation of the cloud platform was a concession to help push for the added connectivity of SWIFT’s network with banking accounts worldwide, as part of the group’s messaging framework.
