Swift is cooperating with the Belgian and Dutch Data Protection Authorities in an appraisal (NL version - FR version) following recent press speculation. There is no evidence at this time to suggest that there has been any form of confidentiality breach. Swift takes these matters extremely seriously and looks forward to confirming the positive outcome of this DPA review.
