Modernization

SWIFT Infrastructure Modernization

Replace fragmented middleware, scattered tools, and manual processes with a single on-premises or private cloud platform that covers the full message lifecycle -- from capture to delivery.

Single Platform On-Premises Configuration Over Code ISO 20022 Ready

The Problem

Infrastructure that grew by accumulation

Most financial institutions didn't plan their SWIFT messaging infrastructure from scratch. It grew over years -- a middleware layer here, a validation script there, a routing module added for a specific clearing, a separate tool for message search.

Some institutions have multiple Alliance Access message partners, each connected directly to a different back-office system -- payments to one, treasury to another, securities to a third. Others have a partially-used middleware that handles some message types while the rest go through custom scripts or direct file drops. Some still rely on manual database queries just to find a message.

The result is a landscape where no single person has full visibility over all SWIFT message flows. There is no centralized archive, no unified audit trail, and no consistent security model. Every SWIFT SRG update, every ISO 20022 change, every new clearing requirement becomes a multi-system coordination exercise across different technologies, teams, and vendors.

With the industry moving to ISO 20022 and SWIFT retiring legacy integration products like IPLA and SIL, now is the time to consolidate rather than add yet another component to the stack.

The Difference

Before and after consolidation

Before

Multiple message partners connecting directly to back-offices

Custom scripts for transformation and routing

No centralized message archive or search

No unified audit trail across message flows

SRG updates require changes across multiple systems

ISO 20022 migration blocked by legacy dependencies

Inconsistent security -- no data segregation between units

Each clearing or message type handled by a different tool

Multiple vendor contracts and technology stacks

→

After

Single entry point between Alliance and all back-offices

GUI-driven transformation with MyFormat and translations

Automatic message archive with full-text search

Complete audit trail for every message, every action

One SRG update per year, delivered months ahead of go-live

Built-in MT↔MX translation, ISO 20022 ready from day one

Enterprise security with role-based access and data segregation

All clearings and message types in one engine

Single vendor, single support contract, single roadmap

What Gets Consolidated

One platform, six capabilities

Each of these is typically a separate system in a legacy SWIFT infrastructure. The Messaging Hub combines them all.

Message Transformation

MT↔MX translation, proprietary-to-standard conversion, field mapping, data enrichment -- all through the same engine with visual configuration.

Replaces: custom scripts, format converters, middleware adapters

Message Routing

Content-based routing with visual rule builder. Route by message type, BIC, currency, amount, or any field content. Multiple destinations per message.

Replaces: routing middleware, custom MQ bridges, file dispatchers

Compliance Validation

Full semantic rules for every MT category plus CBPR+ usage guidelines for MX. BIC directory validation. Prevent rejections before messages reach the network.

Replaces: validation scripts, format checkers, manual review

Message Operations

Web-based browse, search, and monitoring. Full-text search powered by Elasticsearch. Message detail views, audit trails, PDF export, and email forwarding.

Replaces: database queries, log parsers, custom dashboards

Message Entry

Create MT and MX messages with intelligent forms, BIC auto-complete, field validation, and reusable templates. 4-eyes authorization workflows for outgoing messages.

Replaces: manual message creation, spreadsheet-based initiation

Reconciliation & Matching

Automatic ACK reconciliation for all message flows. Rule-based business matching for Treasury and Securities. Counterparty-independent matching.

Replaces: manual reconciliation, separate matching tools

Built-In, Not Bolted On

Benefits you get automatically

When all messages flow through a single platform, some capabilities come for free -- no additional tools, no extra integration effort.

Centralized Message Archive

Every message that passes through the Hub -- inbound, outbound, translated, routed -- is automatically stored in a searchable, centralized archive. No need for separate archiving tools or database exports.

Operators can find any message instantly using Elasticsearch-powered full-text search -- across payload content, not just headers. Historical messages are always available for audit, investigation, or compliance reporting.

Automatic archiving of all messages with no additional configuration

Full-text search across message content, not just metadata

Complete audit trail with timestamps, user actions, and status changes

PDF export and email forwarding for individual messages

Retention policies configurable per message type or business unit

Enterprise Security & Data Segregation

A centralized platform enables a consistent security model across all message flows -- something impossible when messages are scattered across multiple systems with different access controls.

The Hub provides role-based access control, 4-eyes authorization workflows, and data segregation between business units, branches, or legal entities. Each user sees only the messages they are authorized to access.

Role-based access control with fine-grained permissions

Data segregation between business units, branches, or entities

4-eyes principle with verification and authorization workflows

Complete user action logging for compliance and audit

Single security model across all message types and flows

Why Consolidate

Maximize ROI, minimize risk

Lower operational costs

All redundant SWIFT systems reduced into a single processing unit. One platform to maintain, one team to train, one system to monitor.

Lower maintenance costs

SWIFT standards maintenance localized into a single software package. One SRG update per year covers all message types, clearings, and workflows.

Lower risk

Insulate business applications from SWIFT standard changes. Fewer moving parts means fewer failure points and simpler disaster recovery.

Deployment

On-premises, your way

The Hub runs entirely on your infrastructure. No cloud dependency, no data leaving your perimeter.

Multi-Platform

Linux, Windows, Docker containers, Kubernetes orchestration, or AWS ECS Fargate

Database Flexibility

PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle -- use your existing infrastructure

High Availability

Built-in clustering with distributed caching for horizontal scaling without downtime

SWIFT Connectivity

Alliance Access, Alliance Lite, Alliance Cloud -- connect to any SWIFT interface

Back-Office Integration

IBM MQ, RabbitMQ, hot folders, REST API with JWT -- flexible connectivity options

Light Footprint

WAR file deployment with pre-configured workflows reduces implementation time
