iswiss: this is how we will intercept a quarter of all global money transfers.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:57:25 GMT

Over the past fifty years, cross-border money transfers have increased by 750%. This means that for one dollar transferred in 1973 – the year SWIFT, the world’s leading operator for cross-border money transfers, was founded – in 2023, 750 dollars will be transferred. But this impressive growth in global money transfers has not been accompanied by any adaptation of the financial infrastructure, which even today, apart from minor improvements, is identical to that of 1973. And so international transfers are long, costly, operating only during the office hours of some time zone and not taking into account the under-banked, i.e. those who do not have a current account at all.Looking at the data released by the World Bank, of the USD 735 billion transferred worldwide in 2021, a quarter of the entire sum was transferred to just three countries: India, Mexico and the Philippines. Paradoxically, those most in need of banking services, because they consume a quarter of all ...

Atlanta legislators claimed that broadening their own state’s domestic terror laws to include certain attacks on property would somehow keep the public safe from far-right violence.Critics of the legislation in Georgia said at the time that it could be used to target environmentalists and anti-racist activists as well.They were right. Last month, 42 activists were indiscriminately arrested and charged wit...
