The reconnection occurs after four years of halt, said the statement.
Bank Refah was among first Iranian banks which filed application to reconnect to SWIFT, it said.
Central Bank of Iran (CBI) allocated special code and password to reconnect Refah Kargaran Bank to SWIFT on Monday.
Some 190 messages calling for transactions through SWIFT were conducted with success on the same day, it said.
SWIFT is used by nearly every bank around the world to send payment messages that lead to the transfer of money across international borders.
It provides a wide range of service including transmitting letters of credit, payments and securities transactions among 9,700 banks in 209 countries.
A central theme of the sanctions was putting restrictions on Iran’s banking transactions with the international financial institutions through various mechanisms including shutting SWIFT services to the country.
However, it became off limits to Iranian banks in 2012 after the implementation of the US-led sanctions against the country.
Accordingly, around 30 Iranian banks were blocked from using SWIFT services, literally cutting off Iran from the global banking system.
