SWIFT has opened a new office in San Francisco in hopes of better serving 160 West Coast customers and potential customers in that region. According to SWIFT, the expansion supports the growth of its U.S. sales operations, and enables customers to benefit from the expertise and localized access of sales and technical support. The office will initially be staffed with two full-time employees, with plans to grow to three in 2009. The Belgian-based financial messaging company has 20 offices worldwide, including the office in San Francisco.
