This is a misleading information, there are a maximum of 197 countries in the world. The phrase has the intention of showing grandiosity, clearly a marketing move. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C7:CF12:E46E:5417:DC97:C0DE:8356 (talk) 09:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
196 if you count Taiwan (ROC); 197 and 198 if you count Niue and The Cook Islands as independent sovereign countries. More if you count countries that are not generally recognised as independent like Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, etc. Three more if you count the constituent "countries" of the UK as "countries and territories." It's complicated. SWIFT isn't really clear about what it means by this but it's kind of a moot point becasue SWIFT connects banks with banks, not countries with countries. SWIFT bragging about how many countries it does business in is like if the UN bragged about how many continents and regions it includes. Yeah, sure it may be technically relevant but it's not how the system actually works. Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk) 00:45, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I have tried to find information on SWIFT's revenue and which countries contribute which sum/percentages. This may be relevant in the Russian context. If Russia is kicked out, SWIFT fees for others must rise. We have seen it in the context of drugs in sports and the European Council that memberships matter financially as well. We can't ignore that completely, regardless of where we stand. Someone ought to enlighten us what the finances tell us. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:A8D3:56B1:AE6:C195 (talk) 06:13, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Does Swift realize issues had occurred prior on mapping of the optional 53B SBK field along with field 52B OBK originating bank. If the transaction on screen does map the field of 53B in a transaction and the next transaction has no 53B and a field 52B it is not refreshed on screen of MTS money transfer system and may trap Pay advise lines on MTS. It was a CSS issue if I remember correctly in BK AUT. 97.118.204.66 (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
