Alliance Remote Gateway: a simplified Swift infrastructure

Table of contents

Simplifying your Swift infrastructure

With Alliance Remote Gateway, there’s no need to host Swift connectivity products such as Alliance Gateway, SwiftNet Link and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) on your premises. When you adopt our Community Cloud service, we’ll host and operate the technical components required to connect to Swift – enabling you to reduce the cost and complexity of your infrastructure.

Alliance Access and Alliance Entry have built-in support for Alliance Remote Gateway, so there’s no need to install or operate additional software. You’ll continue to run Alliance Access or Alliance Entry at your premises with full access to all features including message entry and display, routing, operator definitions, scheduling and printing. You’ll also be able to access SwiftNet services.

ARG removes the need to maintain, test and operate a back-up connectivity infrastructure, considerably reducing costs. 

Alliance Remote Gateway is operated from one of the Swift Operating Centres (OPC) and hence does not offer the same level of resilience as on-premises Alliance Gateway. As PKI certificates are hosted at the Swift OPC, customers should verify that this is compatible with their institutional policies.

Before ordering Alliance Remote Gateway, please contact your local Swift Office and they will perform an assessment to determine whether Alliance Remote Gateway is right for your organisation. The service is not compatible with some products and services such as Accord.

Alliance Remote Gateway is suitable for connecting customers who send and receive up to 20,000 messages per day with standard throughput expectations.

Contact your Swift account manager for more information.
