Paul Miserez Standards Department at SWIFT
We will soon kick off our first Standards Forums of the new year. The main purpose of this post is to remind Finextra followers about venues, dates and high-level content, as far as they are known today. During Sibos in Dubai, SWIFT celebrated its 40 years of existence. This milestone coincided with the 10th anniversary of the Standards Forum. W

Were you at SIBOS in September? If so, did you get a chance to see how new products, services and technologies are being rolled out in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region? During my last trip there, I was struck by the lack of legacy systems that traditionally hinder some other markets. And when I spoke to insiders I found that, thanks t...

Final day. I realize that this is a week late, but I feel I must complete the set, so here goes. Sibos was discernably quiet. Perhaps Thursday is the new Friday. However, no such tail-off at the Standards Forum. All the days sessions continued to be well attended. It takes real stamina to be a standards geek! [Ed. The great ones make it look ...

Today, SWIFT and treasury systems vendor Bellin announced that they will implement a direct connection between SWIFT and Bellin’s tm5.

As you can imagine, Sibos is a showcase for the dark suit (no matter the weather). You can see some fight against the greys, blacks and blues - the sharp tie, the custom made lining, the Day-Glo nail polish, patterned tights or snazzy heels. But by and large, the sober suit (for men and women) tends to win the sartorial challenge at shows like Si...

Big Trade - Big Data At SIBOS this week people were shouting about “Big Data, Big Data" https://www.finextra.com/blogs/fullblog.aspx?blogid=8175 It made me think what about trade? – What about Big Data in Trade? - but how do you use it when you get it? Bankers in trade mostly get it right, trade has done really well at tracking and checking...
19 September 2013 /sibos Innovation in Financial Services
PaySwarm has the potential to fundamentally change the way payments are made online. But why is this one different from the umpteen other funky web based payment innovations? Firstly, it is free. Open source, patent free and royalty free. Second, it is a web standard that is being adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium payments group, a foru...

Wednesday. Sibos fatigue is setting in for most normal people but the Standards Forum is still going strong. Andrew Muir, still basking in the glory of his triumphant rendition of Happy Birthday, might just be the most enthusiastic person I have ever met. How does he do it? In the Future of Standards series Ineka Bussemaker questioned whether c...

Last day. Are you still in one piece? Ask me again tomorrow. The standards forum wraps up Sibos 2013 with another full agenda. Prof. Poppe, who has really put a shift in this week, gets the day off today. We start at 9:30am with a session on standards for asset servicing. For “asset servicing”, read “corporate actions”. Put an extra shot in my e...
