Understanding SWIFT Transfers
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is the global standard for international money transfers.

At JS, we leverage this robust network to provide seamless cross-border payment solutions.

A SWIFT code consists of 8-11 characters:
- First 4 letters: Bank code (e.g., JSIH for Joint Shares Investment Holdings)
