ABOUT US

We’re the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value – across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we’re proud to support the global economy. 

We’re unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value – a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We’re always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.   

Are you interested in gaining real-world, hands on, project-based experience in Summer 2026? Are you seeking a chance to explore the business world?

Based in Tysons, VA, you will be part of Swift’s 10-week internship in the API and Identity team. Our team enables cross border transactions through APIs and strong Customer Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions. During your internship, you will work alongside a mentor and with a team who can help you develop your business sense.

Swift is redefining cross-border transactions, making them faster and more transparent than ever before. We are the way the world moves value — every instant of every day, in almost every country. Over 11,000 banks in more than 200 countries trust us 24/7 and 365 days a year. We’re trusted every instant.

We are looking for interns who would work with the IAM Product Owners and Product managers to support various initiatives including harmonization of Identity and Post Quantum cryptrography and come up with end-end roadmap and help in IAM standardization and harmonization initiatives.

If you are interested in learning IAM lifecycle management and governance and cryptography in addition to learning the business aspects of IAM, come and join us!

During your internship, you will work alongside a mentor and with a team who will help you experience how Swift works with its clients to make cross-border payments instant and frictionless.

At this time, Swift is not able to offer relocation or housing to interns.
