SWIFT’s Bigger Vision for Blockchain-Based Payments

[tradelikepro]

Beyond this single test, SWIFT is moving ahead with broader blockchain ambitions. The organization confirmed it has completed a separate interoperability trial involving BNP Paribas Securities Services and Intesa Sanpaolo, part of a larger effort to integrate blockchain-based ledgers into its infrastructure.

SWIFT is now working with more than 30 global financial institutions on a shared ledger designed for real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments. The system is expected to provide a secure transaction log, validate activity across platforms, and enforce rules via smart contracts—signaling that blockchain technology may soon become a core layer of global banking rather than a parallel experiment.
