Ananda Patil — Visa Inc. - Director

With over 20 years of deep expertise in the payments domain, I specialize in SWIFT, SEPA, FED, CHIPS, SWIFT gpi, and ISO20022 standards. I have spent 15+ years as a Finastra Fusion Global PayPlus (GPP) Implementation Specialist across the UK, US, and India, serving leading global banks, including PNC, Bank of America, Lloyds TSB, HSBC, and Barclays. 

 

My extensive experience spans roles as a Payments Business Analyst, Architect, and Subject Matter Expert with profound knowledge of SWIFT, SEPA, FED, CHIPS, CHAPS, TARGET2, SCORE, and RTP/RTGS clearing systems. I have successfully driven SWIFT gpi implementations, mastering gCCT, gSRP, gCOV, gFIT flows, gpi Observer, and data analysis, enabling real-time, transparent payments for financial institutions. 

 

I bring proven expertise in messaging formats like SWIFT MT, MX, FED, SEPA, and ISO20022, along with hands-on experience with SWIFT Service Bureau products such as FIS Echos and Finastra Total Messaging. My deep understanding of SWIFT Alliance Access, Alliance Cloud, RMA, and O2M further strengthens my ability to design and support mission-critical payment infrastructures. 

 

Having actively collaborated with leading payment networks—SWIFT, TCH, FED, SARB, and CHAPS—I have driven the implementation of new initiatives and participated in industry testing, ensuring seamless alignment with evolving global payment standards. Certified for SWIFT gpi onboarding, I am adept at delivering innovative solutions that optimize payments ecosystems for banks worldwide. 

 

A passionate advocate for industry advancement, I engage in leading forums, sharing insights on emerging trends, addressing implementation challenges, and highlighting the transformative benefits of next-generation payment initiatives.
