Additional deliverable objects for product configuration

Overview

User profile

Trade Services Utility (TSU) is a service provided by SWIFT, based on a centralized SWIFT server that provides follow-up and reconciliation of cross boarder trading transactions between two banks. This enables banks to propose to their clients a cheaper and more automated alternative to letter and documentary credits.

Provided services

Axway Financial Exchange enables you to handle trade services information in the form of messages or files.

Processing

Trade services information is generated by trade services back-end applications or built into messages by Integrator. It is then validated in the Integrator and routed through Axway Gateway and SAG to SWIFTNet.
The processing sequence is reversed for incoming messages.
