Connect for message services

Message transformation and validation that's flawless, fast and efficient

The beauty of standards is that there are so many to choose from. From FpML to FIX, from MT to ISO, from Bloomberg to SWIFT. From trade inception to settlement, your data must go through many messaging standards and in-house formats, which can complicate your business operations and be expensive and time consuming to resolve.

In addition, the ability to integrate information and functionality between systems is necessary but highly complex.

As more financial institutions modernise their systems to include online services such as banking-as-a-service solutions, currency exchange, sanctions checks or PSD2 compliant payments platforms, institutions are realising that the integration of all these functionalities into a single technical environment is more complex than expected. Even with APIs, there is a need for conversions, validations, enrichment and authorisations between the services.

Disparate functions must be monitored to see where a particular instruction is blocked, and alerts need to be standardised and delivered to the appropriate recipients.

"We were able to significantly reduce the risk of corporate actions failures by using Connect for message services within our internally developed corporate actions processing tool – we then extended our use to cover all securities, settlement and payment messaging flows within the middleware architecture.

We have been able to achieve significant benefits in improved STP rates, and reduced internal development costs for ongoing annual SWIFT Standards Release maintenance updates."
