Procurement services built around your business.
From supplier discovery and verification to negotiation, quality assurance, logistics and delivery, SWIFT provides the capabilities required to execute cross-border procurement with greater confidence and control.

Engage SWIFT for the complete transaction, or for the single service where you need capability.
Global Procurement / Sourcing
Identify suitable products and suppliers across relevant global markets, aligned to your specifications, quantity and commercial objectives.
Supplier Verification
Validate business credentials, physical presence, trade capability and operational capacity before you commit.
Procurement Management
Coordinate the complete procurement journey end to end, or the specific stages where you need support.
Quality Inspection
Verify products against agreed specifications, with factory or warehouse inspection where required.
Import & Export
Coordinate cross-border transactions according to the agreed trade structure and documentation.
Logistics & Freight
Coordinate appropriate transportation, freight and delivery from origin to destination.
International Payment Coordination

What SWIFT can handle.
A single, connected procurement flow — from sourcing the right supplier to executing the transaction.
Source
Product sourcing, supplier identification and market research.
Verify
Supplier verification, due diligence and factory or warehouse inspection.
Optimize
RFQ, price negotiation, commercial evaluation and total landed cost.
Assure
Samples, quality inspection, testing and buyer approval.
Execute
Contracts, payments, freight, customs, documentation and delivery.
Your requirement determines the service model.
Take the whole journey off your plate, or plug SWIFT into the specific stage where you need capability.
Full procurement management
For clients who want SWIFT to coordinate the complete procurement journey.
Targeted procurement support
For clients who already have suppliers or internal procurement capabilities but need specific support such as verification, inspection, negotiation or logistics.
Import / export execution
For clients who require SWIFT to coordinate or undertake the relevant trade transaction structure.
SWIFT's commercial model is transaction-specific and may involve a service or procurement fee, commission or trading margin, depending on the engagement.
Already have a supplier?
You don't have to use our supplier network. SWIFT can support specific stages of the transaction — including supplier verification, inspection, negotiation, logistics or trade execution — based on your requirements.
Understand your total landed cost.
A supplier's quotation is only one part of the procurement equation. Estimate the broader cost of getting your product from source to destination.

How we evaluate procurement cost.
We evaluate the full cost of getting your product from source to destination — not just the supplier's unit price.
Product cost
The supplier's quoted price for the goods.
Freight & insurance
Transport and insurance from origin to destination.
Duties & taxes
Applicable import duties and taxes for the destination market.
Clearance & handling
Customs clearance, port and handling charges.
Other transaction costs
Payment, inspection and incidental costs across the transaction.
Total landed cost
The true cost of the goods delivered to destination.
Final commercial calculations are confirmed against the specific product, destination, applicable regulations and transaction structure.
