Swift Adds Two to Compliance Services Arm
In the newly-created positions, Johnson and Ware will lead Swift’s efforts in financial crime compliance, including international sanctions, know-your-customer (KYC), and anti-money laundering (AML) domains.
Johnson joins SWIFT from BankersAccuity, previously held positions with Dow Jones & Company and MarketGrader.com, and will work out of Swift's Americas headquarters in New York. Ware, meanwhile, comes to the role after twelve years at the Florida International Bankers Association (FIBA), and will be based in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area.
The addition of Johnson and Ware comes on the heels of the recent appointment of Luc Meurant as the head of Swift’s Compliance Services unit.
“Johnson and Ware bring years of experience to Swift’s recently formed financial crime compliance unit,” says Meurant. “They are key hires with instrumental roles to play, particularly as Swift grows its suite of solutions designed to help clients stay abreast of an ever-evolving sanctions and regulatory landscape.”
Adds Chris Church, Swift's Chief Executive Americas: “Compliance with financial crime regulation is placing significant strains on firms, particularly in the payments area. In response to our customers’ demand for industry-wide solutions to streamline their compliance processes, cut costs and reduce risks, Swift is building out a team that will rise to the challenge."
