SWIFTRemit Day was very successful on April 19, 2011, when it was held in Dubai for the Middle East & Asia Pacific Regions. Targeted to the US, Latin American & Caribbean Markets and through a series of key notes and debates, SWIFT experts and service providers will provide an insight in SWIFT's latest solution for the cross-border person-to-person payments market. The SWIFTRemit service can offer unparalleled business possibilities for all financial services providers.

Hugo Cuevas-Mohr, Director at IMTC said "We are honored to have SWIFT as our platinum sponsor in this year's conference and we are very pleased to host SWIFTRemit Day in Miami, a city that is at the crossroads of the US, Latin America & the Caribbean remittance markets."

Eileen Dignen, Managing Dir., Banking Accounts and Initiatives Americas, SWIFT: "SWIFTRemit offers financial institutions a unique channel to participate cost-efficiently in this ever-growing market. Thanks to its standardised and all-in model, SWIFTRemit allows its users to rapidly scale up their remittances corridors and offer any type of cross-border person-to-person payments to their customers, in a time transparent and cost competitive way. To launch the new service in the Americas, partnering with IMTC was a no-brainer for us. The Miami Conference is highly regarded in the money transfer industry and it was the logical choice for SWIFT to present its SWIFTRemit solution in this key market."
