SWIFT/CBPR+

International High-Value Payments

SWIFT provides financial institutions with a secure global messaging network to exchange payment instructions, particularly for cross-border and high-value transactions.

The SWIFT messaging system is used alongside existing correspondent banking relationships, where institutions can hold accounts with one another (nostro and vostro) to enable interbank settlement.

SWIFT developed cross-border payments and Reporting Plus (CBPR+) for smoother messaging communication across correspondent banks, and to utilise the ISO 20022 messaging standard. The new standard modernises cross-border payments, enabling richer, structured data, improved compliance, and better straight-through processing (STP) rates.
