It was very recently announced that the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has been working with SWIFT which is a worldwide supplier of secure transaction messaging systems. Their goal is to make additional upgrades to the speed and enhance the methods of cross-border transactions and that’s not all. The CBUAE said that it will be the main national bank internationally to execute a particular process they’ve been starting up for.

This depends on the Tracker that is a device offered by SWIFT, to empower banks to follow their installment streams from start to finish progressively.
UAEFTS will refresh the SWIFT’s Tracker device for its members, both when a cross-border transaction enters UAEFTS and when the assets are credited to the record of the last recipient in the UAE.

“The implementation of this project will improve the experience of financial institutions and their customers that send payments to the UAE from across the globe. It is also the first one of its kind and we look forward to bringing this concept to other markets,” said the Chief Strategy Officer at SWIFT, David Watson.
