You can adapt to new market infrastructures independently of product release cycles.
What encryption does Prowide Messaging Hub provide for SWIFT messages?
Multi-layer encryption strategy: TLS/SSL for application HTTPS, MQ endpoint SSL encryption (1-way and 2-way authentication) and secure database connections. LAU (Local Authentication) digital signing for SWIFT Alliance Access ensures message integrity and non-repudiation. LAU keys stored encrypted in database. Defense-in-depth approach secures every communication channel.
Can Prowide Messaging Hub replace SWIFT IPLA and SIL?
Yes, but with an important distinction. For SIL: Prowide provides full replacement capability for message transformation, routing, and back-office connectivity. SIL users can eliminate SIL entirely with Prowide. For IPLA: Prowide replaces the transformation, routing, and workflow capabilities, but you still need a SWIFT interface product (Alliance Access, Alliance Lite, or Alliance Cloud) for SWIFT network connectivity. This is because IPLA is embedded within Alliance Access and combines both network connectivity and message processing, while Prowide focuses on the message processing layer. Prowide operates behind your SWIFT interface, handling message workflows and transformations while you maintain your existing SWIFT connectivity. Learn more about IPLA/SIL migration.
Do I still need SWIFT Alliance Access if I use Prowide Messaging Hub?
Yes, if you need direct SWIFT network connectivity. Prowide Messaging Hub handles message transformation, routing, validation, and workflow orchestration, but requires a SWIFT interface product (Alliance Access, Alliance Lite, or Alliance Cloud) to connect to the SWIFT network. This architectural separation gives you flexibility to choose your SWIFT connectivity independently while benefiting from Prowide's on-premises message management capabilities.
How does Prowide Messaging Hub compare to SWIFT Alliance Cloud API?
Key differences: Deployment (Prowide is on-premises vs. Alliance Cloud's SWIFT-hosted cloud), pricing model (perpetual licensing vs. subscription), data control (complete sovereignty vs. SWIFT cloud infrastructure), network scope (multi-network vs. SWIFT-centric), and configuration approach (GUI-driven vs. API/code-based). Both support ISO 20022 natively. Prowide offers vendor independence and infrastructure flexibility, while Alliance Cloud provides SWIFT-managed infrastructure. Choose based on your data sovereignty requirements, infrastructure preferences, and cost structure preferences.
