Alliance Gateway
Alliance Gateway is a communications interface that consolidates flows from multiple messaging interfaces, making traffic routing simpler. It streamlines your infrastructure and helps reduce maintenance costs. By connecting to SWIFT through a single SwiftNet Link instance, it efficiently manages over 40 transactions per second across all Swift message types, ensuring robust and scalable connectivity.
