Currencycloud and Swiftgpi
Our Swift payment system, utilizing Swift gpi, provides visibility across the entire cross-border payment journey, with continuous tracking throughout. Every Swift payment is allocated a UETR (unique end-to-end transaction reference) which records all the events across that Swift payment and enables gpi members to track those events. Think of it as working like a parcel tracking system, pinpointing where funds are every stage of a transaction.
Swift gpi members, and their clients, benefit from:
Payment Visibility
Seeing where a payment is at any point in the network at any time.
Charges Transparency
Knowing who has deducted what amount from the principal at what point in time.
Payment Certainty
Knowing when a payment is actually credited to the beneficiary bank account.
Speed
Relying on fast processing speed that’s ensured by service level agreements.

As every payment has different needs, flexibility when making payments is key for any business. Sometimes, having the funds arrive in full is what’s important. Other times, getting the funds to the beneficiary quickly is what matters most. Currencycloud gives businesses choice when it comes to managing the intermediary bank charges associated with the priority (Swift) payments.

Helping Businesses Take Control Of Their Money and Grow Using Swift
Currencycloud provides Swift tracking capabilities to our clients through an API, allowing our clients to track their customers’ cross-border payments directly, or pass the service onwards to their own customers so they can track their payments themselves.
After the introduction of Swift gpi, 60% of failed payments made through Currencycloud are traced and resolved in less than one day, often in minutes. This means Currencycloud’s clients can directly ensure their customers’ money continues to flow and that trading continues with less friction.
How Currencycloud’s Clients Are Benefitting From The Swift Payment System
Money Mover: Swift Gpi Revolution
Resolving levels of friction is key to establishing trust between payer and payee, especially in a global economy.
Founded in 2014, Money Mover empowers businesses to make seamless, robust and transparent global payments and international money transfers. Its online platform offers its SME clients global payments functionality. Money Mover uses Currencycloud’s API as its payment service provider and was an early adopter of the Swift gpi payment tracking solution Currencycloud provided. Before Swift gpi there were areas where it was hard for Money Mover to be specific and detailed about where the funds were in the network. With Swift gpi Money Mover can offer targeted visibility to their customers as a self-service proposition.
