Alliance Access


A single interface for high-volume Swift messaging

When you send several million messages and files a day, the interface cannot be a bottleneck. Alliance Access is the on-premises messaging interface built for that load, with more than 2,000 installations in production worldwide.

What it is.

Unified SWIFT Messaging Interface

Alliance Access is Swift's messaging interface for banks, financial institutions, and market infrastructures. It provides one window to FIN, InterAct, and FileAct.

Why it matters.

Continuous Processing with Full Message Control

You need continuous processing and full control over every message. Alliance Access runs without daily shutdowns and covers the complete message lifecycle in one place.

How it helps.

Improve Validation and Maintain Service Continuity

Format validation for MT and MX cuts repairs. Automatic switchover through Alliance Gateway keeps traffic moving if one connection is disrupted.

Overview


Alliance Access handles the full life of a message: creation, verification, authorisation, modification, repair, template creation, priority updates, and queries. It runs on Windows, Linux, and AIX, and ships with the browser-based Alliance Web Platform SE as its standard interface.

Validation applies to both MT and ISO 20022 (MX) formats, so errors are caught before messages leave your environment. Routing points, queues, and a full audit trail give operations teams control and traceability across every flow.


If one Alliance Gateway instance is disrupted, Alliance Access reroutes automatically to another instance, which can sit at a different physical site. An optional Database Recovery licence restores content in the rare event of database loss.
Integration scales with need. The Basic Integration Package automates file-based exchange with your back office. The Full Integration Package adds IBM MQ and SOAP channels and opens specialised business modules. Several third-party applications are certified to connect natively.
