Swish World Group Suspends Services in Belgium

6 December 2024

Swish World Group today announced the immediate suspension of its services within the Kingdom of Belgium. The decision follows internal reviews and external information received through SwishJustice relating to concerns around law enforcement conduct and broader issues of judicial integrity.

Based on this information, the Group has taken the precautionary step of restricting access to its platforms in Belgium while the situation is further assessed. This measure is intended to reflect the organisation’s position on accountability, transparency, and the responsible operation of its services.

Statement from Swish World Group:
“We take matters relating to justice, accountability, and public trust extremely seriously. Where credible concerns are raised, we believe it is appropriate to act responsibly while further clarity is sought.”

As part of this decision, services including SwishHost, SwishTech, SwishShop, and SwishTelecoms are currently unavailable within Belgium. SwishJustice will remain accessible in a limited, informational capacity.

Swish World Group emphasises that this action is a precautionary measure and not a legal determination. The Group continues to support due process and encourages appropriate authorities to investigate any concerns thoroughly and independently.

The company will continue to monitor developments and will review the status of services in Belgium as more information becomes available.
