Bottomline Technologies, a provider of cloud-based payment, invoice and banking solutions, today announced that it had been awarded a further accreditation from SWIFT, becoming the SWIFT Business Partner for UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. The award makes Bottomline one of the most highly accredited SWIFT Partners worldwide and builds on its already strong relationship with SWIFT.

With only nine SWIFT Business Partners across the world, SWIFT views its partners as a natural extension to their business, acting on behalf of SWIFT to provide tailored expert solutions in areas such as payments, securities, trade and treasury; and functional areas such as applications, connectivity and services.

These business partners, e.g. Bottomline Technologies and Broadridge, are crucial to the success of the SWIFT corporate services because these companies really understand high quality support required for payment and connectivity services.
