Case Study: OFID Fund achieves streamlined global SWIFT payments and a 20–25% first-year ROI with DH Corporation

Streamlining and Transforming Payments Through SWIFT Connectivity at the OPEC Fund for International Development

OFID Fund, a development finance institution making disbursements across 145 countries in roughly 122 currencies, faced rising costs, heavy manual processing (about 30% of payments via fax and spreadsheets), and limited visibility into its cash position. To modernize and standardize payments and meet demanding governance and risk requirements, OFID Fund evaluated options and selected DH Corporation’s SWIFT service bureau solution for fast, secure SWIFT connectivity and straight-through processing.

DH Corporation implemented a bank‑agnostic SWIFT Service Bureau (VPN SWIFT connectivity, STP, message delivery and 24x7 support) and integrated it with OFID Fund’s backend in under three months, delivering a unified payments platform and eliminating disparate bank formats and many manual workflows. The change produced measurable benefits: streamlined, faster payments, reduced retraining needs, and a conservative 20–25% return on investment in the first year, alongside ongoing cost and risk reductions.
