AJC’s SWIFT CSP 2024 Season: A Year in Review

As another SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) season draws to a close, AJC reflects on a dynamic and successful year supporting clients worldwide. With a record number of audits completed and new milestones achieved, AJC continues to solidify its reputation as a trusted partner in SWIFT compliance. In this article, we take a closer look at the highlights of 2024 and what lies ahead for the 2025 season.

Delivering Excellence Across the Globe 

This year, AJC’s dedicated SWIFT auditors conducted over 137 audits, spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia. Our global reach reflects not only the trust placed in AJC by organisations worldwide but also our unwavering commitment to excellence in compliance and security.

Rising to New Challenges: Lead Auditor Certification 

In 2023, SWIFT implemented a significant change to the CSP audit process, requiring all companies on the SWIFT directory to have at least two certified Lead Auditors. These auditors are tasked with ensuring that audits meet SWIFT’s rigorous requirements and providing assurance that the attestation process is conducted in line with SWIFT CSP standards.

AJC rose to this challenge, successfully certifying three Lead Auditors through intensive training and an external examination process. This achievement ensured AJC’s full compliance with SWIFT’s updated requirements ahead of schedule. Notably, only 45% of companies on the SWIFT directory currently meet this standard, underscoring AJC’s leadership in the field.

Strengthening Strategic Partnerships 

In addition to meeting compliance milestones, AJC reinforced its strategic partnership with Bottomline, extending the collaboration for another five years. This enduring partnership highlights AJC’s commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions and services to its clients.

Preparing for the Future 

SWIFT has announced further changes to CSP requirements, set to take effect in 2025. AJC is already reviewing these updates to ensure our clients remain informed and prepared. Our proactive approach means that we are ready to guide both existing and new clients through these transitions seamlessly.
