We recognize that SWIFT is a mission-critical system for our customers, requiring not just a technical solution that works, but a world-class service organization and structure to support it.

Secure and highly resilient system, designed for ease-of-use: Our service is hosted in two separate data centres, providing both hot standby and disaster recovery capability.

The data centres are outside the City of London, and being over 40 miles apart, avoid the risk of a single event resulting in dual failure.

Connectivity between our customers and the Service Bureau is available through a range of secure options. For example, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) link offers a secure "tunnel" across the Internet, protected by firewalls at either end.

The customer retains full control over the message flows and message routing, via a user-friendly GUI with rules based configuration options running on local workstations.

Responsive, expert service team:
Our packaged SWIFTNet connectivity service offers clients a simple, low risk and cost effective way to connect to SWIFT - from the initial application, through implementation and ongoing service provision.

For organizations new to SWIFT, we help to evaluate the options for how to connect, and how to utilise the various SWIFT offers in order to maximize value. We also help to complete the necessary SWIFT documentation, and to steer the application through the process in line with SWIFT deadlines.

Once a customer has selected the Service Bureau option, our consultants will conduct a site survey which will identify relevant options for customer connectivity to the Service Bureau, host link connectivity and security. Organizational and operational details necessary to pre-configure the system will be identified and customer training tailored to meet specific needs.

During implementation, our experienced consultants are on hand to provide support where needed. Once the system is live, our permanently manned help desk service is available to provide rapid response to rectify any problems. We also keep in regular touch to monitor customer satisfaction and address any new needs which may arise.
