In view of this, SWIFT initiated the SWIFT GPI project in January 2017 to use distributed ledger technology to achieve instant reconciliation and enhance the experience of cross-border payment. SWIFT GPI is an upgraded version of traditional cross-border payment SWIFT, featuring fast speed, High transparency, end-to-end tracking, and regardless of whether the bank that processes the payment is a GPI member, it can check payment information in all links of the payment chain, and non-GPI members do not need to resort to other SWIFT member agent banks to conduct transactions.

Since its debut in 2017, 165 banks that account for 80% of SWIFT cross-border payment flows have joined this service. Among domestic financial institutions, China Trust has obtained certification in 2017, and DBS Bank launched the service on its corporate network platform in July 2018. SWIFT stated that it expects that by the end of 2020, all cross-border payments through the SWIFT network will be completed. This technology will be used as the standard.
