Friend of mine sent me a video. This fellow – Jeff Snider – suggests that all SWIFT is, is a messaging system. Banks are fine doing the exact same thing over the phone with trusted counterparties. This is a 1 hour video – its a fair amount to wade through – but the upshot is that it is just used to securely send messages. Not settlement. No actual money is transferred via SWIFT. You can pick up the phone and do the same thing.

Here’s some more backup for this:

SWIFT is a messaging network that financial institutions use to securely transmit information and instructions through a standardized system of codes. Although SWIFT has become a crucial part of global financial infrastructure, it is not a financial institution itself: SWIFT does not hold or transfer assets. Rather, its utility lies in its power to facilitate secure, efficient communication between member institutions.
Reading the article is substantially faster than listening to the video. 🙂
