Solution

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) provides a network that enables financial institutions worldwide to send and receive information about financial transactions in a secure, standardized and reliable environment.  The majority of international interbank messages use the SWIFT network. SWIFT does not facilitate funds transfer: rather, it sends payment orders, which must be settled by correspondent accounts .
