Do Banks Still Accept KTT Transfers in 2025? For years, Key Tested Telex (KTT) was a trusted method for authenticated bank-to-bank communication. While most commercial banks have transitioned to SWIFT , some private banks, specialty financial firms, and select clearing institutions still process KTT transactions—mainly for legacy contracts, structured trade finance, and high-value capital placements .
