Bottomline Extends Partnership With AJC

We are delighted to announce that the international business payment solutions company, Bottomline, has selected AJC as its certified cyber risk audits partner for a further five years.

AJC has worked in partnership with Bottomline, successfully delivering Swift Customer Security Programme (CSP) assessments for clients since 2017. The Swift programme is mandatory for all users as it aims to safeguard the integrity of the wider financial network. To comply, every Swift user must submit a security attestation meeting with Swift’s compliance levels and specified controls.

Through its partnership with AJC, Bottomline’s financial institution and business customers fully understand their obligations and are assured that their CSP attestation meets the highest standards and gets completed within the submission deadline without heavily impacting internal resources. This independent risk assessment ensures that their payments infrastructure’s defence standards against cyberattacks are up-to-date and effective.

Bottomline’s Head of Account Management, John Dench, stated, “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with AJC. We work closely to conduct the Swift CSP audits for clients across multiple regions, including the UK, Europe, APAC, and North America. The quality of work delivered by AJC’s team for our mutual clients is highly regarded as evidenced by the post-completion client satisfaction survey results we have seen.”
