Swift APIs

In today’s digital-first world, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are the engine powering seamless online interactions. APIs enable real-time, on-demand data exchanges between applications, ensuring that information can be exchanged and received instantly. For the financial industry, APIs represent the next evolution in delivering faster, more efficient, and more flexible services.

Swift APIs are at the forefront of this transformation, offering banks and financial institutions a powerful tool to enable frictionless and instant payments, securities transactions, and more. By leveraging APIs, Swift is advancing its vision of seamless, global financial connectivity, allowing institutions to move money and data between accounts anywhere in the world.

What are the Benefits of APIs for Financial Institutions?

As Swift continues to evolve its services, many of its most innovative offerings are becoming API-native, designed to deliver enhanced flexibility and tailored customer experiences. APIs provide financial institutions with a direct channel to access these new capabilities, enabling them to integrate and customize services more easily than ever before.

By connecting to Swift’s API channel, financial institutions can unlock a range of possibilities, from real-time payments to advanced securities transactions, while streamlining their operations and improving customer experience.

Developer Support

With the tools and resources available on Swift’s Developer Portal, institutions have everything they need to quickly connect and integrate with Swift’s APIs.

A collection of Swift’s core APIs are available through a subscription to Swift Essentials. Integration of these APIs with a bank’s legacy systems is not provided. Many banks require support from a Swift Complementor like IntellectEU for insights into a tailored infrastructure strategy, API selection, and an efficient integration planning and execution process.
