TerraPay's vast network enables payments to over 2.1 billion mobile wallets and 7.5 billion bank accounts worldwide, allowing recipients to receive funds in their chosen currency. This extensive reach promotes global financial inclusion and accessibility. It also signifies a step forward in achieving the G20's objectives for improved speed, transparency, accessibility, and cost-efficiency in cross-border transactions.

Understanding Swift payments

The Swift network does not directly transfer funds or function as a banking system; instead, it serves as a secure channel for transmitting payment orders between banks using Swift codes. Swift payments provide a fast, accurate, and secure way to send money internationally.

In essence, Swift functions as a messaging network that facilitates communication and the exchange of crucial information regarding financial transactions among banks, credit unions, and other financial entities.
