Typical HN "hacker" who has no idea how the real world works.
I also cannot see why wouldn't ALL banks in the WORLD change their established and heavily tested communications protocol that works, with another protocol. I'm also sure that change would cost a few bucks only, so.. why don't they do it?!
- JoelJacobson 12y agoI'm not suggesting they would change the protocol, the can with benefit continue to use MT-files, but the communication _channel_ could easily be replaced with The Internet (which is quite heavily tested), instead of the SWIFT network.
