Fintech Connect 2021 with Lewis Ide, SWIFT

In our coverage of Fintech Connect we were joined by SWIFT’s Head of Business Development in UK & Ireland, Lewis Ide, to talk about their strategy when it comes to instant and frictionless cross border payments. We’ve already seen over 100 institutions commit to SWIFT Go, but we can look forward to even more as Fintech Connect is just around the corner; the interlinking of payment systems, SWIFT’s pre-validation systems to reduce friction, and helping banks support customers in bigger, better ways.
