SWIFT & cross‑border payments
Messaging, connectivity and compliance, modernised without disrupting the payment flows your business depends on.
Advice across the whole payment chain
Since 1996, Run Ventures has advised banks, PSPs, vendors and investment banks on the SWIFT ecosystem that underpins global payment flows, from FIN messaging and the ISO 20022 migration to gpi tracking, correspondent banking and financial crime compliance.
SWIFT connectivity model advisory
We help institutions weigh direct SWIFTNet, service bureau and cloud connectivity options against their volumes and resourcing, then plan and manage the migration itself.
FIN messaging & Alliance support
Run Ventures helps banks, PSPs and vendors design FIN messaging and deploy, configure and support Alliance Access and Messenger environments, keeping SWIFTNet connectivity stable and supportable.
Sanctions & compliance screening
Run Ventures helps compliance and operations teams tune sanctions and name screening, support KYC Registry participation and turn alert volumes into actionable, defensible controls.
Correspondent banking advisory
We advise banks on structuring nostro/vostro accounts, strengthening reconciliation controls and optimising their correspondent network to free up trapped liquidity and reduce concentration risk.
SWIFT gpi adoption & tracking
Run Ventures helps banks adopt SWIFT gpi — UETR generation, Tracker integration and stop-and-recall capability — giving operations and customers real-time visibility into every payment.
ISO 20022 & MX migration advisory
We guide banks through the MT to ISO 20022 MX migration under CBPR+, managing coexistence, mapping and testing so structured data delivers real operational benefit.
