Key Features

Connectivity

Alliance Access provides various interfaces for SWIFT applications to connect for SWIFT communication. These interfaces include MQ Series, SOAP, File and FTP. Fiorano SOA has prebuilt adapters which support these protocols, enabling communication with Alliance Access. SWIFT Alliance Access (SAA) connects to SWIFTNet through the SWIFT Alliance Gateway.

Messaging

SWIFT comprises of two different types of messages - MT (Message Type) and MX (XML Message Type). MT messages are further categorized into 9 different categories. Each category in-turn consists of various messages in the MTxxx format. MX messages are similarly divided into various types with each message having its own MX identifier. MT messages are sent/received using the FIN messaging service whereas MX messages are transferred using the InterAct messaging service. The FileAct messaging service transfers files which have either of these message types.

Message Creation

Definitions of different MTXML and MX messages from various business processes can be transformed to MTXML/MX using Fiorano transformation tools via a simple drag and drop approach. The Fiorano MTXML convertor, based on the SWIFT SDK, can be used to convert MTXML messages to MT messages which can then be sent to the SWIFT system using the Fiorano connectivity adapters outlined in the table above.

Message Validation

The validation of MT messages can be done by using the Fiorano MT Validator component which performs the validations based on the latest validation rules mentioned in the SWIFT User Handbook and SDK. The validation of MX messages can be done using the ISO 20022 Validator adapter.
