The integrated swift payments system
Swift payment systems and Currencycloud
You can integrate the security and efficiency of Swift payment systems into your offering and business with the added benefits of Currencycloud’s cross-border solutions.
Currencycloud and Swift gpi
Our Swift payment system, utilizing Swift gpi, provides visibility across the entire cross-border payment journey, with continuous tracking throughout. Every Swift payment is allocated a UETR (unique end-to-end transaction reference) which records all the events across that Swift payment and enables gpi members to track those events. Think of it as working like a parcel tracking system, pinpointing where funds are every stage of a transaction.
Swift gpi members, and their clients, benefit from:
Payment Visibility
Seeing where a payment is at any point in the network at any time.
Charges Transparency
Knowing who has deducted what amount from the principal at what point in time.
Payment Certainty
Knowing when a payment is actually credited to the beneficiary bank account.
Speed
Relying on fast processing speed that’s ensured by service level agreements.
Swift Cross‑Border Payments
Currrencycloud’s Swift cross-border payments:
Currencycloud brings visibility to any fees deducted during a cross-border Swift payment, and insight into how long the transaction is taking.
As every payment has different needs, flexibility when making payments is key for any business. Sometimes, having the funds arrive in full is what’s important. Other times, getting the funds to the beneficiary quickly is what matters most. Currencycloud gives businesses choice when it comes to managing the intermediary bank charges associated with the priority (Swift) payments.
Swift Payment Charge Types
Priority payments are sent via the Swift gpi network, intermediary bank charges apply. You choose if the payer or yourself handles the payment.
Currencycloud gives businesses choice and control over their domestic and international payments. Businesses can send payments seamlessly in 36 currencies to over 180 countries worldwide.

How It Works
Currencycloud provides businesses with the correct account details to pass to their customers (senders) telling them where to send their money.
Helping Businesses Take Control Of Their Money and Grow Using Swift
Currencycloud provides Swift tracking capabilities to our clients through an API, allowing our clients to track their customers’ cross-border payments directly, or pass the service onwards to their own customers so they can track their payments themselves.
After the introduction of Swift gpi, 60% of failed payments made through Currencycloud are traced and resolved in less than one day, often in minutes. This means Currencycloud’s clients can directly ensure their customers’ money continues to flow and that trading continues with less friction.
