The FTB’s current SWIFT VeriSign certificate will expire on September 9, and the new VeriSign certificate will be installed on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. PST. (FTB e-File News (August 15, 2024)) When a user logs into the SWIFT system after the new certificate has been installed, they may receive a message requiring them to accept the new certificate. Once a user accepts the new certificate, they should not receive any further messages.
VeriSign certificate information that is embedded into an automated file transfer process that uses SWIFT will need to be updated with the new certificate information.
