Intra-Branch Routing Application (IBRS)
This application is designed to allow internal routing of messages
received from a predefined destination to another destination. This
is especially important for bank’s branches and affiliates sharing
the same Alliance Access system.
Once a message is sent from
a branch and targeting the other branch, it will be captured by the
application, checked and acknowledged to the sending branch and
forwarded as output message to the receiving branch.
This
application runs on the Alliance Access and requires the Application
Development Toolkit (ADK).
Connecting Financial
Institutions Branches Together
Intra-Branch Routing
Application (IBRS) is designed to handle SWIFT messages flowing
between bank branches. IBRS is a SAA plug-in application based on
SWIFT ADK (Automated Development Kit) and fully integrated with the
Alliance Access system. This application is installed at the SAA
server at the head office and will be customized to handle the
traffic of each branch..
Concept
IBRS is designed
to monitor and capture messages sent from an internal destination
(branch, head office, financial institution or any BIC8 or BIC11
sharing the Alliance Interface) and targeting another internal
destination within the system. Messages targeting external
destinations (bank’scorrespondents) will continue their route to
SWIFT as defined in the system.
The branch can create,
modify, verify and authorize its messages as usual. The IBRS
monitors the authorization queue, captures the messages targeting
other internal destinations and meeting predefined criteria and
route them to a specific queue for special handling.
Functionality
Depending on the bank’s requirements, the
application checks the captured messages and:
Both the sending and receiving destinations can check and monitor
their messages in the Message File Application.
Application Platform
IBRS and IBRS-C run on the Alliance
Access system in real-time mode. They use the SWIFT Application
Development Toolkit (ADK Runtime) component. These applications can
be installed on the same machine of the Alliance system.
