Book a Demohow it works
Consolidate. Monitor. Manage.
The Sybrin Payments Hub is a centralised payments ecosystem: service-focused, highly configurable, componentised, and API-centric. It is designed to centrally consolidate, monitor, and manage various payment rails and transaction types on a web-based platform. It also provides an agnostic interface across channel, customer, and payment type and insulates the organisation from the impact of settlement and regulatory scheme changes.
With support for seamless integration with Line-of-Business systems, as well as a range of compliance and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) platforms, it ensures that you are fully compliant and secure. It is ideal for both large multinational banks who are running a variety of back-end processes, as well as smaller more localised banks, and other financial institutions.

-
Sources
Our offering is unique in that it accepts input from a range of transaction sources, covering the whole spectrum of products offered by a bank. Transaction sources include electronic banking, corporate banking, direct branch transactions, and ATM/POS points.
Each payment source is appropriately handled and converted for processing through the communication protocol interface. The interface is responsible for message translation, interpretation, and validation, before passing it through in aggregated format.
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Point-of-Sales (POS) transactions are directed through a third-party ATM switch, which collects the transactions and directs them to the communication protocol interface. This way, all payment sources can efficiently communicate with Sybrin, ensuring uninterrupted service and Straight-Through-Processing (STP) of all transactions.
-
Destinations
Our offering redirects processed payments to the relevant destinations based on the transaction type and parameters for clearing. Following our input-processing-output paradigm established in all our products, the destinations are considered the outputs. Sybrin determines the correct destinations of transactions, which may include the Automated Clearing House (ACH), the RTGS processor and SWIFT network, and passes them through the communication protocol layer for distribution to these external clearing entities.
As with the input sources, this interface is responsible for message translation, interpretation, and validation. The protocol interface supports several industry formats such as XML, MsgQ, and ISO, and can be adapted for use with proprietary formats to output to any other destination as required for clearing. This offers unrivalled scalability and enhanced product capabilities for banks demanding the most efficient transaction processing solution.
features
Multifunctionality in a Single Environment.
Sybrin's Payments Hub supports multiple currencies, it also offers support for any transaction sources, with an automated failover feature to ensure payment completion.
Central Dashboard View
We aggregate all the bank's transaction sources into a unified, web-based dashboard view. The dashboard provides a customisable overview of items such as transaction channel usage, up and downtime, and exceptions. We also provide a detailed audit trail of all transaction events and sources and offer notifications and escalations to customers and users for specific events.
Third-Party Support and Auto Failover
Sybrin has full support for any transaction sources and destinations when processed and switched through our offering. This enables excellent third-party payment source and destination support via the customisable communication protocol interface. We can also intelligently re-channel transactions if they fail through one provider, ensuring payment completion.
Multi-Currency
We can support as many currencies as needed without any limitations. By either utilising a file uploaded from the Treasury with exchange rates or linked directly to the bank's exchange rate system online. More so, the exchange of currency codes and numbers in message requests can all be maintained and customised in Sybrin as required.
benefits
A scalable and reliable solution with improved management visibility and control resulting in stronger compliance and reduced risk.
Accelerated Time to Market
The Sybrin solution is a purpose-built accelerator for consolidation, processing and monitoring of payments. Therefore, a Bank can go live within months rather than years, creating a competitive advantage for the Bank around payments processing.
Speed and Flexibility for New Products
Open, extensible data and processing models allow for rapid implementation and rollout of new products and features through low-code development using the Sybrin Platform.
Scalable, Reliable, and Performant
Proven in the most demanding production environments; designed to the highest standards of performance: low-latency, high-capacity, linear scalability, and reliability. The Payments Hub can grow exponentially based on the Bank's future business strategies. Therefore, supporting a low cost of ownership.
Improved Management Visibility and Control
Consolidating the payment processing, allows for the intelligent capture and use of data which allows for business activity monitoring dashboards, analytics, and management reports. These reports aid in making crucial management and business process improvement decisions. The automated collection and analysis of data also improves customer profiling, thus improving the effectiveness of targeted marketing campaigns.
Reduced Operational Costs
Faster deployment, configuration flexibility, and open stack support provide additional reductions in operational costs.
Stronger Compliance and Reduced Risk
The Sybrin Payment Hub's configurable Rules Engine ensures that new regulations can be easily integrated into the solution as they arise, thus addressing the relentless pressure to incorporate and implement regulatory compliant solutions. The rules engine also enforces Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies, while Sybrin Automated Services perform automated sanction screening.
Monitor Payments Anytime, Anywhere
Our systems ensure transaction tracking, from initiation until completion, allowing the Bank to make informed decisions from a central and consolidated view of real-time data.
Flexible Commercial Model
Sybrin owns the IP, we can therefore model flexible commercial options based on the Bank's required licensing and deployment requirements i.e., on-premise, transaction-based, or a hybrid model.
use cases
Our products are designed to improve business processes, increase efficiency, and provide better customer experiences. With our flexible and adaptable solutions, we are able to meet the unique needs of each industry and deliver effective solutions that drive growth and success.
