What percentage of SWIFT gpi payments settle within 24 hours?

Over 90% of SWIFT gpi payments settle within 24 hours; approximately 40–50% settle within 5 minutes. The gpi Tracker provides end-to-end visibility with unique end-to-end transaction references (UETR). Legacy SWIFT without gpi could take 2–5 days with no tracking.

How does SWIFT gpi compare to Ripple and blockchain payment networks?

SWIFT gpi achieves near-real-time settlement for many corridors within the existing correspondent banking structure. Blockchain networks like Ripple claim 3–5 second settlement but require both ends to use the network and have liquidity in XRP or stablecoins. For high-value institutional flows, SWIFT gpi remains dominant.
