and when I worked for a major US bank, it was the fastest and most secure way to move funds internationally. Banks join the SWIFT network to move funds for their own international operations as well as for those of their customers.
After 9-11, I immediately thought of SWIFT transactions to trace funding for terrorists. But if I knew that, you can be sure that terrorists are aware of the ease of tracing wire transfers through SWIFT. Member banks would have incentive to cooperate with such investigations since they have an interest in the stability of worldwide financial markets.
