Colombia's main interbank payments operator enables instant, alias-based transfers

The goal is to enable instant interbank payments among participating banks, with the security expected of financial market infrastructure. That means every transfer must be validated, routed, cleared and confirmed within seconds, without losing a single message.

• Real time: clearing flows must be orchestrated reliably, around the clock.
• Controlled exposure: every participating bank needs to consume services through secure, governed APIs.
• Alias management: the key and alias domain must be managed under industry security guidelines.
• Interoperability: the solution must integrate with systems and banks running different technologies.

Redsis is working with the operator to implement IBM Cloud Pak for Integration, IBM's integration platform that brings together, in one container-native experience built for hybrid environments, the integration capabilities a real-time payments operation requires.

Each component plays a precise role in the architecture: exposing services to banks, protecting the perimeter, orchestrating flow logic and ensuring that no message is lost or processed twice.

Platform components

• IBM API Connect: creating, securing, managing and publishing the APIs participating banks consume.
• IBM DataPower Gateway: end-to-end security and encryption at the transaction entry point.
• IBM App Connect Enterprise: integration and orchestration of flows between systems.
• IBM MQ: messaging with guaranteed, once-only delivery to preserve the integrity of every transaction.

With more than 25 years delivering infrastructure and software to Latin American banks, and as an IBM Platinum Partner, Redsis pairs mission-critical platform expertise with an automation and integration portfolio that includes IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and Fortra solutions. We cover the full cycle: architecture, implementation, performance and security testing, go-live and support.
