    what if the bank does not go through the intermediary banks and instead communicates with the recipient bank? for example, banks A and b have bank accounts of each other. Why can't they use wire transfer from bank A to Bank B instead? are the US Banks more resilient to malicious actors? won't it be more complex and prone to backdoors when more parties are involved?

    I have a quick question: Is there a need at a certain point for a bank to transfer physical money from bank to bank ? Let's say for the bank to open it's account in it's intermediate bank.

    I don't mind using crypto however at a certain point you will need to convert the crypto currency into fiduciary currency can you advise on how ? With what bank ? Finally the extremely high volatility of a crypto currency is scary which makes it's usage limited for a very limited transitional period of time. Thank you for this video 👍🏻

    Sender bank needs to have a commercial account in the recipient bank and vice versa. When the recipient bank receives the swift message, It will debit money from the sender's bank commercial account and credit the recipient account. If the sender and recipient's bank don't have a relationship(no bank account for each bank opened), they will have to use an intermediary bank which has a relationship with both banks.

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:00 *🌐 Overview of Swift Network* - Swift, or Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, facilitates global financial transactions. - More than 45 million transactions daily; connects banks globally using standardized messaging. 01:08 *📊 How Swift Works* - Swift involves multiple entities: sender, local bank, intermediary banks, recipient's bank, and recipient. - Transactions involve encrypted messages through Swift, currency conversions, and verification steps. 04:18 *💸 Critique of Swift System* - Swift transactions are not real-time, taking 3-5 days to complete. - Expensive due to fees from multiple intermediaries; not all countries/banks have Swift connectivity. - Requires detailed input (Swift/BIC codes, IBAN) and centralized control poses security risks.
