For a standard that claims to be the one standard to bind them all, a method for developing standards, and a framework to allow multiple message syntaxes to co-exist, one might think that we could at least agree on how to pronounce the name.

So, here we are again. Another Sibos. Another Standards Forum. The waiting is over and it’s time to get down to business.

As many of us prepare to board flights to Dubai for Sibos, I’m wondering what others are hoping to hear and learn this year. A few things in my mind: It’s SWIFT’s 40th birthday, hurrah!

A few weeks ago it seemed like we had an eternity to prepare for Sibos. Now we've got less than a week to go, and like many others I'm scrambling to get ready.

Release from the FCA on how it intends to deliver on its responsibilities, will be very interesting to see how much of this is reiterated in the Regulation and Rebuilding Trust plenary session at Sibos on Weds 18th Sept.
