Reduce the regulatory compliance and risk burden

Treasury departments are high-risk environments due to the value of funds and sensitivity of data that they manage, and their responsibility for managing bank accounts. The right controls are essential to maintain the security and integrity of data and processes, whilst also ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Swift’s sanctions and counterparty screening tools enable treasurers to support the global effort against financial crime, whilst minimising disruption to their own business.

For example, by ensuring that sensitive payments are fully documented, and sanctions lists are fully adhered to, fewer payments stopped or delayed. This reduces in lower cost and risk, and avoids potential reputation and financial damage due to compliance breaches or payment delays.
