EBICS

The Electronic Banking Internet Communication Standard (EBICS) is used for electronic data transfer between corporate clients and banks. We support the following EBICS versions: 

  • H003 (EBICS 2.4)
  • H004 (EBICS 2.5

SWIFT for Corporates

We offer different transfer mechanisms (messaging services) for exchanging data:

  • FIN
  • FileAct in real-time mode
  • FileAct in store-and-forward mode messaging

SWIFT for Corporates

SWIFT is a financial industry owned co-operative providing secure and standardized messaging services and interface software to more than 9,700 banking organizations, securities institutions and corporate customers in more than 200 countries.

Originally, only banks were allowed to profit from SWIFTNet. In 2001, SWIFT opened its services to corporate customers. Instead of a multi-bank solution, corporate customers can now choose one of our offered SWIFT solutions to reach all their banks through one single platform:

  • MA-CUG (Member Administered Closed User Group)
    RBI has maintained a MA-CUG as system administrator since September 2004 and offers corporates to join this service as a so-called ‘service participant’.
  • SCORE (Standardized CORporate Environment)
    As a further development in 2007, SWIFT introduced a new access model called SCORE. Therein SWIFT acts as system administrator and allows corporates and banks to exchange messages. In contrast to MA-CUG, the communication with all participants is possible after a single registration.

RBI offers different transfer mechanisms (messaging services) for exchanging data:

  • FIN (MT101, MT940, …)
  • FileAct in real-time mode
  • FileAct in real-time mode messaging

 

Host-2-host

A host-to-host connection is a direct and secure connection established between two computer systems (hosts) belonging to different institutions. This connection enables the exchange of financial data and transactions between those institutions. We offer flexible host-to-host connections according to your needs, like FTP / SFTP / FTP-PGP encryption or CONNECT:DIRECT.
