Meet ARENA at SIBOS 2026
Modernise financial integration.
Not your entire infrastructure.
Smart Converter is a specialised financial integration layer that helps financial institutions connect legacy systems, SWIFT messaging, ISO 20022, APIs, files, queues and event-driven platforms through one controlled and traceable environment.
Centralise transformation and validation logic, reduce custom development and modernise your architecture progressively — without replacing the systems that already support your business.

THE INTEGRATION CHALLENGE
Financial integration becomes more complex with every new connection.
Financial institutions need to connect legacy applications, modern platforms, external networks and new data services while supporting an increasing number of formats, protocols and market requirements.
Over time, transformation and validation logic becomes distributed across systems, interfaces and point-to-point developments, making the integration model harder to understand, maintain and evolve.
Fragmented transformation logic
Mappings, validations and business rules are distributed across multiple applications and interfaces.
Limited
traceability
Identifying where a message failed, which rule was applied or which version was used can require significant operational effort.
High dependency on custom development
Every new system, format or counterparty can generate another specific integration project.
Slower
adaptation
Changes in standards, market practices and internal platforms must be implemented across a complex network of dependencies.
Greater
operational risk
Duplicated logic and inconsistent controls increase the possibility of errors, data loss and unexpected behaviour.
"The challenge is not adding another connection. It is controlling complexity across the entire integration lifecycle."
WHY IT MATTERS
Simplify integration without losing control.
Reduce custom development
Centralise logic and reuse components across integrations.
Accelerate change and onboarding
Update rules and mappings without modifying connected systems.
Improve operational traceability
Gain end-to-end visibility across messages, rules and exceptions.
Modernise progressively
Add new channels, standards and platforms at your own pace.
