Sun, Essant & SWIFT:



Facilitate SWIFT processing at all levels of the transaction life cycle.

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) cooperative is owned by the financial industry. It supplies secure, standardized messaging services and interface software to 7,800 financial institutions in more than 200 countries. This includes banks, broker, dealers, and investment managers, as well as their market infrastructures in payments, securities, treasuries, and trade. As financial services firms increasingly embrace SWIFT as the defacto protocol to communicate securities and payment details with counterparties, the industry needs a fully extensible, scalable, reliable way to manage and monitor SWIFT traffic in real time.

Sun’s messaging and integration technology suite extends the capabilities of financial services firms to facilitate SWIFT communication and processing at all levels of the transaction life cycle — from trade to settlement and custody services — for investment managers, brokers, dealers, custodians, securities depositories, clearing organizations, and stock exchanges. Today, Sun technology enables financial services firms to take advantage of SWIFT connectivity and management, reducing the complexity, risk, and cost of domestic and international transactions.
