Why is the last mile the longest?

While transactions across the Swift network can happen in seconds, around 80% of a payment’s journey is spent in the “last mile” – the time between a payment reaching the beneficiary bank and being credited to the end account. Domestic regulations, local market practices and infrastructure can all result in delays.

Our payments scheme is designed to significantly improve that final stage of the journey – bringing greater speed, certainty and transparency to the part of the process that matters most to end customers.

“Everyone should be able to transact internationally at pace, safe in the knowledge that the full value will arrive with the recipient and that fees will be affordable and fixed from the start,” says Nasir Ahmed, Head of Payments Scheme at Swift.
