This year, market uncertainty has encouraged SWIFT to delay many of their standards releases, including Category 7 for Guarantees/Standby Letters of Credit. However, this delay shouldn’t stop you from preparing to evolve.

In reality, banks are now presented with a valuable pocket of time in which they can choose to review operations, look for opportunity to advance, evolve and transform for the future of banking.
