SWIFT Infrastructure Modernization
Infrastructure that grew by accumulation
Most SWIFT messaging infrastructure was never planned from scratch. It grew over years: a middleware layer here, a validation script there, a routing module for one clearing, a separate tool for message search.
Some institutions run multiple Alliance Access message partners, each wired to a different back-office. Others have a partially used middleware, with the rest going through custom scripts or file drops. Some still need manual database queries to find a message.
No single person has full visibility over all message flows. There is no central archive, no unified audit trail and no consistent security model. Every SRG update and every new clearing requirement becomes a multi-system, multi-vendor project.
SWIFT support for IPLA and SIL ended on 30 June 2026, which leaves them as end-of-life software in your CSP/CSCF scope. Together with the ISO 20022 deadlines, this makes now the time to consolidate instead of patching components you can no longer support.
Before and after consolidation
Before
After
One platform, six capabilities
Message Transformation
MT↔MX translation, proprietary-to-standard conversion, field mapping and data enrichment in one engine with visual configuration.
Message Routing
Content-based routing with a visual rule builder. Route by message type, BIC, currency, amount or any field, to multiple destinations. Connectors cover the back-office side.
Compliance Validation
MT and MX messages are validated before they reach the network, so rejections are prevented.
Message Operations
Every message is archived automatically. Browse, search and monitor on the web, with Elasticsearch full-text search, audit trails, PDF export and email forwarding.
Message Entry
Create MT and MX messages with forms, BIC auto-complete, field validation and reusable templates. 4-eyes authorization for outgoing messages.
Reconciliation & Matching
Automatic ACK reconciliation for all message flows, plus rule-based business matching for Treasury and Securities.
Lower cost, lower risk
Lower operational costs
One platform to maintain, one team to train, one system to monitor.
Lower maintenance costs
One SRG update per year covers all message types, clearings and workflows.
Lower risk
Business applications are insulated from SWIFT standard changes. Fewer moving parts means fewer failure points and simpler disaster recovery.
