At the center of this is the Swift network, which is often considered relatively inflexible and lacking in transparency. With Russia recently kicked off of the network, Russia and other countries (e.g. China, India) are doubling down on their own Swift alternatives. Even if such systems do not come to replace Swift, they will inevitably have an impact on improving it. In addition to these systems, cross-border payments are being disrupted by government-backed efforts to link systems and more easily allow customers to access and use their funds in different countries. Swift has much work to do if it is to survive the onslaught of challenges it is facing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-16788 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='The Importance of FinTech in Central Asia'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/the-importance-of-fintech-in-central-asia\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/0372bbc8-b4f1-e544-0553-3cb538a5ba3d1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16331\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16331'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Importance of FinTech in Central Asia\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Four Innovative Investing Companies on Forbes 2022 Fintech 50 List (Video)'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/four-innovative-investing-companies-on-forbes-2022-fintech-50-list-video\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/d64a3b72-348c-ace9-16d9-9742d944e48f1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16780\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16780'>\n\t\t\t\tFour Innovative Investing Companies on Forbes 2022 Fintech 50 List (Video)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor (19th January \u2014 8th February)'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-19th-january-8th-february\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/68a29ddf-c5db-6ed3-d837-69726fa6fb051-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16622\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16622'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor (19th January \u2014 8th February)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domestic digital payment usage surged during the pandemic, and now customers are increasingly demanding a similar revolution in cross-border payments.
