Responding to structural shifts within the payment market infrastructures landscape

Payment market infrastructures (PMIs) include High Value Payments RTGS systems, Low-Value Payments/ACHs and Real-Time Retail Payment Systems (RT-RPS), and are critical service providers.

PMIs face a number of challenges, including regional market integration, international expansion, the need to automate and be more cost-efficient, offer new services and replace legacy systems. And as ISO 20022 rapidly becomes the international market standard, there is the added challenge of ensuring a harmonised global approach to adoption.

The evolving geopolitical landscape, growing risk of cyberattacks and IT dependencies make it more critical than ever for PMIs to demonstrate higher levels of risk management, transparency and operational resilience.

Join the industry dialogue

Community engagement in our MI Forum, a forum for market infrastructures and their communities to encourage industry dialogue and share ideas.

PMIs have to work. Consistently and reliably.

PMIs must, deliver secure, reliable, efficient and cost-effective payment clearing and settlement for their community, at scale. PMIs are impacted by fast evolving and potentially disruptive technologies, by direct and indirect regulation, the need to control costs, and the ongoing evolution in standards. Swift’s expertise in innovative technologies, messaging and standards enables us to partner effectively with FMIs to help address these challenges and find cost effective and reliable solutions.

  • Manage risks and costs

Resilience

Market Infrastructure Resiliency Service (MIRS)

MIRS is a generic third site RTGS system that provides operational and business continuity to RTGS operators in case of failure of their primary and/or secondary sites. MIRS acts on behalf of the RTGS operator in the event that the RTGS system is completely unavailable, due to failure of primary and secondary sites. It settles payments on a gross-basis between members, starting from the balances held at the RTGS at the time of failure.
