  • It is suitable for transferring large files – bulk payments, large volume of data
  • TxB supports both store-and-forward and real-time delivery modes, and both generic and corporate services of SWIFT FileAct
  • Protection of data is ensured through a built-in SWIFT network security and RMAs
Connectivity Pre-requisite from the client:
