Cosmos Suite Links Banks to Swift Ledger for Round-the-Clock Payments

Cosmos has launched a tokenization suite designed to give banks and financial institutions direct access to Swift's blockchain-based ledger, allowing them to process cross-border payments around the clock, according to an announcement dated Sept. 28, 2026.

The Cosmos Tokenization Suite acts as a connectivity layer, integrating financial institutions with key payment networks including Swift's distributed ledger infrastructure. The product addresses a longstanding gap in international finance, where legacy banking systems have historically limited cross-border transactions to standard business hours and multi-day settlement windows.
