Swift 3 Version

After setting up the text view in interface builder.

@IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 5     
    textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.withAlphaComponent(0.5).cgColor
    textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5  
    textView.clipsToBounds = true
}

Swift 2.2 Version

@IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 5     
    textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.grayColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5).CGColor
    textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5  
    textView.clipsToBounds = true
}
