Swift said on 28 September 2026, the opening day of its Sibos conference in Miami, that it is working with banks, payment service providers and technology providers from four continents to let consumers send money abroad with the identifiers they already use at home. Mobile phone numbers, email addresses and virtual payment addresses captured in domestic systems would be matched for international transactions over Swift. The release cites Bizum in Spain, PayID from Australian Payments Plus (AP+) and Pix in Brazil as the domestic experience it wants to extend across borders.
Swift names 14 participating organisations: AP+, Banco de Crédito del Perú, Banorte, BBVA, Bizum, Bradesco, Caixabank, Citizens Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, DBS, IDFC FIRST Bank, Ouribank, TerraPay and Veritran. Of the services Swift cites, only the organisations behind Bizum and PayID are on that list. Banco Central do Brasil does not appear on it. Ouribank's treasury director, Bruno Foresti, said the bank is connecting "Brazil's Pix ecosystem" to Swift's network.
The release gives no launch date and names no corridor. Swift calls the work the next step in its consumer payments scheme, which launched in June and now involves more than 100 banks. The only mention of a proof of concept comes from Bizum: Fernando Rodríguez, its deputy managing director of international expansion, called "Swift’s proof of concept" a step towards sending and receiving money between Spain and other continents.
