Trust is what turns innovation into lasting progress. As AI and other emerging technologies create new opportunities across the financial ecosystem, they also introduce new risks, dependencies and challenges. At Sibos 2026, we'll examine how financial institutions can embrace innovation while safeguarding the systems that underpin global commerce. From protecting critical infrastructure, managing operational risk or understanding the role of AI in money movement, we'll discuss what's needed to support a secure and trusted digital economy.

Friction in cross-border payments is a bit like an iceberg, explains Swift's Shriyanka Hore. The biggest sources of delay often sit beneath the surface. Many of the factors that have the greatest influence on payment outcomes are also the least visible, from regulation and data standards to liquidity and FX arrangements. Read why unlocking the next wave of payment optimisation may depend on understanding, and reducing, the hidden frictions that lie beneath the surface. bit.ly/46CKB0e #CrossBorderPayments

Building on what already works. Extending it to support a tokenised future. We’re extending Swift’s infrastructure, standards, and expertise to enable a tokenised future, supporting real-time, 24/7 digital payments. This builds on the scale, reliability, and resilience that institutions around the world already trust and depend on. Learn more: lnkd.in/eS4nXH2M #CrossBorderPayments #SwiftBlockchainLedger

Always‑on payments require liquidity to be in the right place, at the right time. With the Swift ledger, the sending bank commits funds upfront, visible in real time to all parties. So the process shifts from managing uncertainty to acting on confirmed liquidity. The result? A more predictable cross‑border payment experience – wherever and whenever payments are made.

What does a multi-rail future for payments look like? The Swift ledger is designed to deliver one trusted connection to orchestrate transactions across digital ecosystems. No fragmentation. Just more seamless access. With coordinated flows across borders and forms of value. Together with institutions across the globe, we’re working to enable adoption at scale - without disrupting existing systems.

⚡ A better cross-border payment experience is here. Consumers can now send money across borders with greater speed, transparency and predictability through Swift's scheme, a shared framework for retail payments. Payments from Australia to Spain have been completed in as little as 23 seconds, while transfers from China to the United States have arrived in just a minute. 26 financial institutions have started processing payments according to the framework, activating 25 payment corridors across 17 markets worldwide. With more than 70 financial institutions committed to implementing the framework in 2026, these benefits will extend to even more customers and markets around the world.

Why is Swift's approach to blockchain different? While many initiatives focus on creating new networks, Swift is extending infrastructure already trusted by more than 11,500 financial institutions worldwide. Our shared ledger combines the benefits of tokenised transactions with the reach, resilience and interoperability that underpin today's global financial system. Built alongside the banking community and ready for use in just nine months, it's designed not to replace the existing financial ecosystem, but to help it evolve. That's the power of combining innovation with trust at global scale. lnkd.in/eAMygpUW #Ledger #CrossBorderPayments #Tokenisation

Not all cross-border payments perform at the same level. Some move at speed, while others still face delays, friction and hidden costs. Just like in football, the difference comes down to strategy and planning. Our Payment Optimisation Playbook reveals where payments are performing well and where there is still room for improvement at the last mile. Because the first step to improving the game is assessing current performance. 👉 Explore the insights and see how you can optimise your cross-border payments: lnkd.in/ejB2k6Vq #Payments #Data

Everyone wants cross-border payments to be faster, more transparent and more predictable. But delivering that future cannot be done by one organisation alone. It requires industry-wide collaboration. That's why we're bringing the global financial community together around shared rules and standards through the Swift payments scheme.

What will the financial system of tomorrow look like? According to Nick Kerigan, our Head of Innovation, three transformative forces are converging: tokenisation, AI and quantum computing. While technology will reshape how finance operates, some fundamentals will remain unchanged. Trust, high-quality data and common standards will continue to underpin any future financial system. What comes next will combine new capabilities with trusted foundations to deliver better outcomes for customers.
