Whenever the Bank Intergation is required , the very first term would come in mind is SWIFT , a very similar way as EDI sort of messaging servics that Financial sectors are using .So let explore what is SWIFT and how many of these can be potenially targetted for Integration .
What is a S.W.I.F.T?
S.W.I.F.T. (or SWIFT) stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is a non-profit organization comprised of member financial institutions. It was established in 1973 by European bankers who needed a more efficient and secure system for inter bank communications and transfer of funds and securities. Until then, all inter bank communications were by telephone, telex, courier, or mail.
Swift Messages
SWIFT messages are preset and referred to by category numbers called MT numbers. Through this network (a.k.a. SWIFTnet) information can be exchanged using special crafted messages known as Message-Types (MT).
SWIFT message types
SWIFT messages consist of five blocks of data including three headers, message content, and a trailer. Message types are crucial to identifying content.
All SWIFT messages include the literal “MT” (Message Type). This is followed by a 3-digit number that denotes the message type, category, and group.
SWIFT standards
There are three variants of SWIFT standards you can find as there documentation:
1. Owned by SWIFT: These are message using the Financaial service on the SWIFT network. Industry accepted word is called MT (Message Type) messages and very popular one are MT101, MT103, MT940, etc. More over there are nine categories of SWIFT MT messages out of which 4-5 major category can be utilize with any ERP package.
2. Owned by ISO: There are two sets of standards that SWIFT uses which are technically “owned” by ISO- an organisation of which SWIFT is a member. These are ISO15022 and ISO20022 (also known as UNIFI). The newer addition in this series is ISO20022 is expressed as an XML implementation.
ISO20022 are the XML messages associated with Payments and reporting, a new series of securities messages, trade, etc.
3. Owned by SWIFT (not ISO) but using XML
These are also MX messages (to SWIFT) but have not been submitted (or not submitted yet) to ISO 20022.
Several mapping and middleware vendors support the ISO 20022 suite of XML messages. SAP and Oracle have made announcements as well on ISO20022 support.

What does a SWIFT look like?
A SWIFT consists of a one-page document containing the name and code of the originating bank, the date and time, the address and code of the receiving bank, the name and internal code of the officer initiating the transmission, the names and numbers of the accounts involved in the transfer, a description of the asset being transferred, the MT category of the transmission, and acceptable, standardized phrases as described above.
A sample File for MT looks like as
Wrapping up -Oracle EBS with ‘SWIFT Outside
EBS and enhance banking Functionlity is still one of the area which is not a out of box functionlity.
Therefore,Oracle does requires some sort of Integration Package for Module for SWIFT for there customer can do such things:
-
Comprehensive electronic payments and bank integration
-
Support for the SWIFT FIN
-
Enhanced global cash management and transparency
-
Support of XML based payment standard
Hoping , Oracle must have plan to provide some more in this area. Do you really requires “Oracle Swift” application in EBS..what you say.

Could you shed some light on IMPS(International Mass Payments System) Please

Hello Dinesh ,
I really never heard this term in my last 9-10 yrs in this industry. I think this is not a genric word for payment industry, might be supported into only into specfic country. More Or less I think, if not wrong , might have some sort of payment provider like PaymentTech or FirstData in US.Still you have to clarify.
Could you through some more light , so that we can explore together.
regards
sanjit
