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 is becoming a bottleneck

Financial institutions are operating across increasingly complex environments.

Connecting these environments through individual developments increases maintenance effort, slows down change and makes financial integration dependent on fragmented technical knowledge.

"The challenge is not adding another connection. It is controlling complexity le"across the entire integration lifecycle"

Legacy systems and modern platforms.

SWIFT MT and MX messages.

ISO 15022 and ISO 20022 standards.

Proprietary formats and international standards.

APIs, files, queues and events.

Batch processes and real-time services.

Why it matters

When every integration becomes a separate project

Fragmented integration models increase complexity across the entire financial ecosystem. Each new format, system or counterparty can require additional development, testing and maintenance.

Limited
traceability

Following a message from source to destination becomes increasingly difficult.

More custom development

Point-to-point transformations must be designed and maintained independently.

Slower
adaptation

New standards, formats and systems require additional development effort.

Higher
operational
risk

Transformation errors and inconsistencies can affect critical financial processes.

Greater maintenance dependency

Knowledge remains distributed across applications, teams and individual specialists.

Longer
onboarding
cycles

Connecting new platforms, flows or counterparties takes more time and coordination.

A financial integration layer

Decouple financial complexity from your business systems

Smart Converter provides a specialised layer to interpret, validate, transform, enrich and route financial information across your existing ecosystem.

Instead of embedding transformation logic separately within every application, institutions can manage it through a reusable and controlled integration layer.

This enables legacy and modern systems to work together while preserving existing technology investments.

Core capabilities

More than message transformation

Smart Converter combines financial transformation, connectivity, industrialisation and operational governance within a single specialised integration layer.

Financial transformation

Interpret and process financial information according to the needs of each flow.

  • Parse financial messages and data.
  • Validate structure and content.
  • Transform between formats and standards.
  • Enrich information and apply configurable rules.
  • Build and route target outputs.

 

Reduce the need to build and maintain transformation logic separately in every system.

Integration and connectivity

Connect financial infrastructure across legacy and modern architectures.

  • SWIFT MT and MX.
  • ISO 15022 and ISO 20022.
  • APIs, files and databases.
  • MQ and Kafka.
  • Legacy and cloud-based platforms.
  • Batch and real-time processes.
 
Enable different technologies and standards to coexist within a controlled integration architecture.

Industrialisation

Create reusable and governable integration components.

  • Reusable mappings.
  • Configurable rules.
  • Version control.
  • Test cases and documentation.
  • Controlled adaptation to new releases.
  • Traceability of changes.

 

Accelerate the incorporation of new formats while reducing duplicated development and maintenance effort.

Governance and operations

Maintain control after each integration has been deployed.

  • Process monitoring.
  • Error management and reprocessing.
  • Audit trail.
  • Lifecycle control.
  • Controlled deployment.
  • Operational traceability and observability.

 

Understand how each message was processed, which rules were applied and where an exception occurred.

End - to - end governance

Govern the complete financial integration lifecycle

Smart Converter goes beyond message transformation. It helps institutions control each stage of the integration lifecycle, from initial design to ongoing operation.

Financial transformation is only one step. Operational governance is what makes integration sustainable.

Define source and target formats.

Design mappings.

Configure validations and rules.

Test transformations.

Deploy integrations.

Manage versions and releases.

Monitor processing.

Identify and manage errors.

Reprocess information when required.

Maintain auditability and traceability.
