La Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, connue sous l'acronyme SWIFT, qui signifie « prompt », « rapide » en anglais, est une société coopérative de droit belge, basée à La Hulpe près de Bruxelles, détenue et contrôlée par ses adhérents parmi lesquels se trouvent les plus grosses banques mondiales. Fondée en 1973, elle a ouvert un réseau opérationnel de même nom en 1977. Sa principale fonction est de servir de réseau par lequel les messages permettant d'initier les paiements internationaux sont échangés. Comme elle gère l'enregistrement des BIC, le terme « Code SWIFT » est parfois utilisé pour désigner le BIC.
