Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, SWIFT has 7,500 users in 200 countries. Earlier banks communicated via telex, a communications system consisting of teletypewriters connected to telephone networks. This system was not very secure, had minimum standards and was not automated. In response to this environment, 239 banks from 15 countries formed a cooperative to find ways of automating the telex. They called it the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT. A significant part of the SWIFT core infrastructure - its backbone - is provided by Sprint. The Sprint IPL service is designed for point-to-point applications and provides maximum availability for critical business services, helping SWIFT deliver technical excellence to its members.
