Book a Demohow it works
Unifiable. Customisable. Reliable.
The Sybrin Payments Switch Manager provides the tools to operationally manage the following payment switches:
-
ACH Switch
This Sybrin developed switch provides payment clearing for Cheque and EFT payments. It is typically used by central banks.
-
Mojaloop Instant Payment Switch
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored the Mojaloop Instant Payment Switch. It aims to lower payment fees by providing an interoperable payment solution.
why it works
No Limits.
Unified dashboard views, automated failover, and multi-currency support ensure that you are ready for any eventuality and can deliver continuous transactional activity:
Central Dashboard View
Sybrin's solution aggregates 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. Sybrin can furthermore 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 the SPS. This enables excellent third-party payment source, and destination, support via the customisable communication protocol interface. In addition, Sybrin can intelligently re-channel transactions if they fail through one provider, ensuring payment completion.
Multi-Currency
Sybrin's Payment Switch can support as many currencies as needed without any limitations. It can either utilise a file uploaded from the Treasury with exchange rates or be 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.

Provides standard liquidity reports.
Visual real-time liquidity monitoring dashboard.

Alias Lookup Service
Proxy Payment is aimed at making payment processes easier by eliminating the need for customers to exchange information such as bank account details and instead rely on proxy identifiers such as mobile phone numbers or company names or abbreviations. The alias lookup provides the ability to find related aliases.

Reporting
Sybrin's solutions provide several off-the-shelf reports. In addition, new reports can be supported in the following ways:
Use of the internal Sybrin Platform reporting engine, which allows for quickly building reports consisting of internal Sybrin Platform and external data sources. It is possible to separate reporting data to safeguard performance of the transactional system.
Reporting information can be exported to an external reporting solution, where products like Jasper reporting can be used.
It is possible for third-party tools to access the information in Sybrin Platform, which will be carefully monitored and managed by Sybrin Platform to avoid performance degradation.
Fee Management
Sybrin Switch Manager features a Data Model Notation (DMN) Engine, which allows for flexible, complex rules and mappings. This is used by our customers as a charges management solution.
Alternatively, Sybrin Switch Manager can access external fee management solutions, which are typically provided by some host banking solutions. The charges and fees can be obtained from external sources, internal lookup, or a combination of multiple sources if required.
Systems Management
This feature comprises three main components:
Role and user management: Manage and maintain roles and users including access.
