How long does SWIFT keep data?
SWIFT offers different financial messaging services, which include SWIFTNet InterAct, SWIFTNet FileAct and SWIFTNet FIN. Some services offer archival of messages, others do not. The archival periods, if any, for the different services are set forth in the Service Documentation. For example, in the SWIFTNet FIN service, customers can retrieve messages up to 124 days. Conversely, SWIFT does not archive the files sent via its SWIFTNet FileAct service.
