compatible customer managed interface
A messaging and communication interface connecting to the Swift network. Messaging and communication interfaces are provided by Swift and compatible third-parties vendors. Customers must connect to Swift through a Swift compatible interface.
Communication interface software provides a link between the SwiftNet network and the messaging interface software. It provides centralised, automated, and high-throughput integration with different in-house financial applications and service-specific interfaces.
Messaging interface software supports the use of Swift messaging protocols (FIN, RMA, InterAct store-and-forward, FileAct store-and-forward, FileAct real time). They enable customers to connect business applications to Swift messaging services and enable the maximum automation of system management tasks.
