What Is SWIFT?
SWIFT is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications. This is a Belgian organization, founded in 1973 in response to a UN request to implement electronic payment systems for banks. The SWIFT messaging system is a series of standardized messages which have authority in over eight thousand banks in over two hundred countries. It is based on the UN EDIFACT message format, so has been around since 1985.
Why Are SWIFT Messages so commonly used?
A SWIFT message can be sent and received within seconds, and though they are still subject to processing time, this is much quicker than sending communications through the mail, and is much more secure. Swift will use their own physical cables, and will never be sent on the internet. It cannot be intercepted, cannot be duplicated and iwith security that compare to military s[ecifications. They do not use TCP/IP but is based on OSI, typically X.400 protocol.
SWIFT Codes
There are SWIFT codes which correspond to various types of procedures. 'MT' is just "Message Tag" and is then followed by a Message Class (here "7") and a two digit procedure number. Class 7 is "Letters of Credit and Guarantees", and procedure 60 is "blocked funds".
What Happens When My Bank Issues An MT-760?

So, the seller can now use this to pay subcontractors and get equipment ready for delivery.
