The way people write things on Twitter amuses me. Is this person a SWIFT expert or did they just google all this stuff to be able to tweet about it?
Plus.. I can't read it all because Twitter throws a sign up modal.

- krick 5y agoThere isn't anything really in this "explanation" that cannot be googled within seconds much less that would require him to be an expert. For me it explains nothing. I don't know, maybe it is a little enlightening for a person that never heard of SWIFT before, that didn't know it's "something related to international payments" and now he does. But I'm not sure this qualifies as an explanation.
- user3939382 5y agoI can tell you something you can’t Google in 2 seconds: have a close friend who’s also a programmer that worked on SWIFT: the transactions are conducted through XML files on FTP(!) drops.
- prox 5y agoWhat the heck. I can’t wrap my head on how that would work. Can you elaborate?
- user3939382 5y agoYep, and actually I worked on the US Federal Financial Aid system and the transactions between the DOE and schools work the same way (called SAIG Mailbox) Look up ISO 20022 and “store and forward”
