Guidance for SWIFT Alliance Message Hub on AWS
Overview
This Guidance enables financial institutions to integrate SWIFT Alliance Message Hub with Alliance Connect Virtual through a secure, cloud-optimized architecture. By leveraging deployment across two Availability Zones and aligning with SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) requirements, the Guidance establishes centralized messaging protocols to streamline message processing, simplify integration patterns, and maintain robust compliance.
How it works
Alliance Connect Virtual Gold
This architecture diagram shows a standardized environment for connecting to the SWIFT network using Alliance Connect Virtual Gold connectivity.
Alliance Connect Virtual Silver
This architecture diagram shows a standardized environment for connecting to the SWIFT network using Alliance Connect Virtual Silver connectivity.
Alliance Connect Virtual Bronze*
This architecture diagram shows a standardized environment for connecting to the SWIFT network using Alliance Connect Virtual Bronze connectivity.
*Bronze may be appropriate for development environments but is not recommended for AMH due to its suitability for low volume traffic. AMH is designed for high volume institutions.
Benefits
