Connectivity Pre-requisites
- BIC: Include only the Swift-registered BIC of the user that initiated the file transfer
Swift FINplus
Swift FINplus is an enhanced messaging service that runs on the SwiftNet InterAct in SnF (store-and-forward) mode. FINplus enables the exchange of MX (ISO 20022 XML) messages under the CBPR+ framework
- As part of the global transition to ISO 20022, all cross-border payments are progressively moving to this standardized channel, with a significant deadline for interbank payments set for November 2025
- FINplus provides a reliable means for financial institutions to exchange ISO 20022 messages, supporting various message types including payments and cash management.
To establish connectivity to Goldman Sachs Transaction Banking services via Swift FINplus, clients must adhere to general Swift requirements and specific TxB configurations listed below
Connectivity Pre-requisites
- To connect to TxB services via Swift FINplus, clients must meet general Swift requirements. This involves ensuring eligibility as a Swift service user, subscribing to FINplus services directly through Swift, and configuring their infrastructure to support the FINplus service on SwiftNet InterAct in store-and-forward mode. Refer FINplus guide for more details
- Finally, all messages exchanged must comply with ISO 20022 standards, include the mandatory Business Application Header version 2 (BAHv2), and be validated against both ISO 20022 base message rules and specific usage guidelines.
Configuration setup with TxB details
- Set up Relationship Management Application (RMA) authorizations for communication flows and configure Distinguished Name (DN). Use the same Goldman Sachs BICs for FINplus that you currently use for Swift FIN messaging. Refer here for Production BICs and Test BICs
- The table below provides a Swift registered DNs for TxB, categorized by service configuration and environment
