One of the key benefits of SWIFT is driving high levels of Straight Through Processing (STP), through enabling greater automation in the core business processing applications.

As well as providing a comprehensive technical support service for the SWIFT gateway systems, Simplex provides the business consulting expertise to help clients gain maximum value from their investment in SWIFT. Our services include advising on opportunities for operational efficiency and risk reduction, through improving STP rates, consolidating SWIFT and other financial messaging and, if applicable, outsourcing the service provision. We also advise on the impact and opportunities arising from new SWIFT services and technologies, such as FileAct, ISO 15022 and Member Administered Closed User Groups.

As one of the UK's leading specialist financial IT consultancies, Simplex can provide a wide range of consulting services which build on, or complement SWIFT services.

Our in-depth understanding of industry initiatives includes:

	Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS)
	Back Office Re-engineering
	RTGS and cross-border payments
	EBA Euro1 and STEP2
	Liquidity Management
	Virtual Matching Utilities (OMGEO)
	Anti-Money Laundering
