SWIFT AND STANDARD MESSAGING SYSTEM
Objective:
This training program is designed for SWIFT users who are preparing swift messages in various departments in a bank like letters of credits, guarantees, remittances, bills, treasury back office and others. This also includes people likely to handle the above-mentioned functions. This will help your organization to build a team of in-house experts you can rely on at any time. Further it will help you to reduce manual intervention on the messages send thereby resulting in lower cost of messages.
