When banks and brokers zap payment messages from Albania to Yemen, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) gets the job done. Founded in 1973 by 239 banks in 15 countries, the company now provides messaging and transaction processing services to more than 7,000 financial organizations in almost 200 countries, including brokers, securities depositories, clearing organizations, and stock exchanges worldwide. Products and services include SWIFTNet and FIN (message and transaction processing), SWIFTAlliance (interface product), SWIFTStandards (end-to-end communications standards), and SWIFTInfo (information service). SWIFT conveys more than 1 billion messages a year.
