SWIFTNet Messaging Services

SWIFTNet offers four messaging services, SWIFTNet InterAct, FileAct, Browse, and FIN. Of these four, the SWIFTAlliance Gateway specifically addresses FileAct and InterAct in client mode, with both Real Time and Store-and-Forward transfers.

SWIFTNet InterAct

SWIFTNet InterAct provides secure and reliable exchange of individual structured financial messages. SWIFT customers’ messaging requirements vary from customer to customer but also from message to message. SWIFTNet InterAct offers you a broad range of telecommunication modes.

Store-and-Forward Messaging

SWIFTNet InterAct’s store-and-forward capability is designed for messages that are destined for a large number of correspondents, many of whom may not be online at the time of transmission. It removes the uncertainty and inconvenience of worrying about whether or not your correspondents are on-line at the time you send the message. The message is delivered as soon as the recipient is ready to receive it. As a result, it provides an ideal way to send individual instructions, confirmations, and reports to large numbers of correspondents, some of whom may be in different time zones.

Real-Time Messaging

Real-time messaging offers a low-cost alternative to store-and-forward for messages which are destined for correspondents that are online at the time of transmission. As a result, it is ideal for sending individual instructions, confirmations, and reports to a few large correspondents, or for messages to market infrastructures.

SWIFTNet FileAct

SWIFTNet FileAct provides secure and reliable transfer of files, such as batches of structured financial messages or large reports. Typical applications include repetitive credit transfers such as pension or salary payments, securities value-added information and reporting, and regulatory reporting. SWIFTNet FileAct offers a variety of messaging modes.

Store-and-Forward File Transfers

SWIFTNet FileAct’s store-and-forward capability ensures that your correspondents receive your message whether or they are online at the time of transmission. Messages are delivered when the recipient is ready to receive it. Store-and-Forward is an ideal way to send individual instructions, confirmations and reports to large numbers of correspondents, some of which may be in different time zones.
