SWIFT operates an annual program to certify third-party software applications for the financial services sector against SWIFT requirements, using stringent criteria to validate the expertise, security and resilience of SWIFT service providers. Certified applications are awarded a SWIFTReady application label when they demonstrate compliance with SWIFT standards, messaging services and connectivity. With a certified SWIFT solution, Longtop is able to deliver to its banking customers interoperability between their existing systems and the SWIFT network in payment applications that these customers rely on for secure payments.
