Express SWIFT

This is a category rather than a branded payment method, so no country or currency is recorded for it. A category that inherits one product's footprint states something false: "cash payment: 1 country" would tell a reader that paying in cash exists in one country. Where the write-up below refers to a recorded country or currency, this line is the correction.

Checked 2026-10-21: Verdict stands as the researcher had it, but one of its load-bearing claims is false, and correcting it makes the case stronger rather than weaker. WHAT THE CATEGORY COVERS.

This is a category rather than a branded payment method, so no country or currency is recorded for it — a category that inherits one product's footprint states something false.

Express SWIFT describes a kind of payment, not a product. SWIFT is the Belgian cooperative's interbank messaging system — banks and PSPs use it to instruct each other — so it has no issuer, no checkout flow and no home country. "Express" is a service tier (same-day or priority value date, sometimes marketed as SWIFT gpi) that each bank prices on its own. It says how fast a wire moves, not what the wire is.

No gateway documents a method by this name. I read the four full catalogues — Adyen (113 methods), Airwallex (98), Antom (109) and Stripe (64) — and none contains any method whose name includes SWIFT. The docs indexes of Mollie, Checkout.com and dLocal name no SWIFT page either, and Worldline's payment-method index renders no list at all (template placeholders only). SWIFT appears in gateway documentation solely as a generic cross-border payout rail: Rapyd's "SWIFT Payout", payout method type `xx_swift_bank`, where the `xx` country prefix marks it as country-agnostic. Rapyd states sender currencies USD, SGD, SEK, NOK, ISK, HKD, GBP, EUR, DKK, CHF and AUD, takes the beneficiary country as a parameter, and documents no express, priority or urgent tier.

The only provider in this directory's own source data that claimed Express SWIFT was OpenPayd; OpenPayd's send-payments page names SEPA, SEPA Instant, SEPA Direct, CHAPS, BACS, Faster Payments, SWIFT and Pix — plain SWIFT, no express variant — and it publishes no developer docs host (docs.openpayd.com does not resolve).

Members of this category are the bank rails themselves plus bank-branded priority wires. Do not conflate it with Antom's "Express Bank Transfer", a real method (South Korea, KRW). The existing Global country row and currency row have no source and should be dropped.
