SWIFT

Interbank messaging system

Swift means moving or capable of moving with great speed: a swift current, swift runners.

It also describes things happening quickly: a swift response, swift justice.

The word carries a sense of smooth, effortless rapidity rather than frantic haste.

A swift is also a small fast-flying bird related to swallows, or a reel for winding yarn.
