Tips on Joining SWIFT

Start with a cost/benefit analysis.

By Richard Gamble | Updated on October 13, 2010

The process of joining SWIFT should start with an internal cost/benefit analysis, says Bryan Kirkpatrick, vice president, senior product manager for treasury services and SWIFT expert at Bank of New York Mellon.

Some may come from treasury peers. Together, you should be able to figure out if the business case is there.

Don’t expect those triple-digit ROIs you may have heard about. Some of the earliest case studies claimed ROIs of several hundred percent, but those were special cases.
