SWIFT UK is the national member and user group representing the UK financial community within the global Swift network. 

We connect banks, asset managers, fintechs, market infrastructures, and technology providers to collaborate on innovation, influence global strategy, and navigate regulatory change.

Our mission is to ensure the UK’s collective voice is heard on the international stage while providing a platform for members to share expertise, address challenges, and co-create solutions. 

Through working groups, advisory forums, and industry events, we bring together leaders across payments, securities, trade, compliance, and technology.

We focus on key priorities shaping the industry today:

✔️ Standards & Adoption – supporting migration to ISO 20022 and future-proofing operational resilience.

✔️ Innovation – advancing real-time payments, CBDC interoperability, fraud prevention, and emerging technologies.

✔️ Compliance & Security – tackling financial crime, sanctions, cybersecurity, and regulatory alignment.

✔️ Community & Knowledge – fostering collaboration across institutions to share insights, best practices, and influence direction.

SWIFT UK represents the interests of UK institutions influencing global Swift’s standards, platforms, and strategy. 

We also provide members with resources, forums, and regular updates to help them stay ahead in a rapidly evolving environment.

Membership is open to UK-registered organisations that are Swift shareholders or users of Swift services. 

By joining, members gain access to dedicated working groups, technical expertise, and opportunities to contribute directly to the development of international standards and practices.

Together, we are building a more secure, efficient, and innovative financial ecosystem for the UK and the world.
