Inventi Becomes First Swift Business Connect Provider in the Baltics to Scale Global Payments

Quick Summary

Inventi has become the first Swift Business Connect provider in the Baltics, allowing financial institutions to access the global Swift network via a single integration. This partnership simplifies cross-border payments by embedding secure messaging directly into Inventi's infrastructure alongside SEPA and TARGET services for banks and EMIs.

How Does Swift Business Connect Simplify Global Banking?

Swift Business Connect allows technology providers like Inventi to embed global messaging capabilities directly into their existing platforms. This eliminates the need for financial institutions to build and maintain a separate technology stack for every individual payment rail. By using a single payments platform, banks and electronic money institutions (EMIs) can significantly reduce their technical and operational overhead.

• Access to over 11,500 financial institutions globally.
• Connectivity across more than 200 countries.
• Managed handling of financial messaging standards and security updates.

“For a long time, Lithuania’s fintech success story was primarily about attracting and licensing international financial companies. We are now moving into a different stage of maturity: building infrastructure in Lithuania that can be exported across Europe and worldwide. Swift Business Connect is not simply another partner badge for Inventi. We are proud that, following its assessment, Swift selected Inventi and placed its trust in us as a partner capable of delivering this connectivity to financial institutions. We can now turn the complexity of global payment connectivity into a managed service delivered through a single payments platform.” said Asta Meskereviciute, Co-founder of Inventi.

What Problems Does This Solve for Financial Institutions?

The primary challenge for modern banks is managing the technical and operational burden of multiple payment systems. Inventi handles the connectivity layer, including message processing, tracking, and technical exceptions. This allows clients to focus on their core products while Inventi manages the complex payment instructions including returns and cancellations.

• Consolidated access to SEPA, TARGET, and Swift.
• Direct integration with Bank of Lithuania’s CENTROlink and Bank of Latvia’s EKS.
• Support for multi-currency payment capabilities through existing infrastructure.

“Sending a single payment instruction is the easiest part. The real complexity lies in returns, cancellations, payment tracking, exceptions, data formats and standards that continue to change. We manage that entire layer within our Payments Platform, allowing the client’s team to focus on its product and customers instead of operating a Swift technology estate.” said Zilvinas Kybartas, Co-founder and CEO of Inventi.

How Does This Impact the Baltic Fintech Ecosystem?

Lithuania currently hosts 248 fintech companies serving 40 million customers across the EU. By providing locally developed infrastructure, Inventi strengthens the region's position as a hub for international financial operations. This move ensures that high-value technology activity remains within the Baltics while offering Western European banks a robust managed service alternative to complex in-house systems.

FF NEWS TAKE:

This announcement significantly moves the needle for Baltic fintech. By securing Swift Business Connect status, Inventi transitions from a regional player to a critical global infrastructure provider. For banks, the ability to consolidate SEPA and Swift into one integration is a massive win for operational efficiency. Lithuania is no longer just a licensing hub; it is now a legitimate exporter of mission-critical banking technology.
