Fortis, the Belgian/Dutch banking and insurance group, is piloting SWIFT’s Alliance Integrator for Exceptions and Investigations. In particular, the pilot will focus on integrating solutions using ISO 20022 XML standard messaging, which are essential for Exceptions and Investigations.
Alliance Integrator is a new SWIFT offering that provides facilities to help users integrate business applications with SWIFT.

“Through this pilot, we want to demonstrate that the time to market for solutions using ISO 20022 can be dramatically reduced by using a SWIFT supported tool – and without impacting any back-office applications.” says Frank Van Laere, SWIFT applications manager, Fortis.
