Accounting reconciliation is either a stand-alone product or an optional feature of FinTP. It provides automatic or manual accounting reconciliation between NOSTRO/VOSTRO accounts. It offers intraday liquidity reports and integrated exception management, applying machine learning for exceptions to maximize automatic reconciliation.

• Ledger vs. statement reconciliation (NOSTRO)
• Payments vs. statement reconciliation (VOSTRO)
• Automatic or user-driven reconciliation
• Intraday liquidity reports
• Investigation features

Rich set of reporting templates for a thorough operations control.

The Liquidity Reporting feature, part of Allevo’s FinTP suite, ensures real-time cash reports and forecasts using several reporting criteria, in a consolidated view.

The real-time liquidity reporting is performed at geographical level (on each branch) or at business level (on operation type). It also provides forecast management and can compare forecasts with the real status of payments and collections.

The Transaction Mirroring feature mirrors financial transactions between two platforms (production and back-up), ensuring data integrity, consistency and operational continuity in geographically separated locations. The solution embeds real-time resilience at transaction level, based on message persistence in queues.

The Competitive Traffic Reports is a feature that generates monitoring reports of message traffic in relation with correspondent banks, based on the ordering or beneficiary bank, transaction type, communication channel or message type, resulting in a competitive analysis of the traffic participants. The feature also provides alerts if events that deviate from the standard behavior of an indicator are detected.

The Duplicate Detection feature allows detection of possible duplicate messages and early alerting for further investigations.

The option is configurable at each implemented business flow level: e.g. credit transfer outgoings, return incoming transactions, payments requests instructions etc.

The internal format used by FinTP is ISO 20022

The SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) functionality accommodates the SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) and SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) payment flows for both payments in RON or EUR.

FinTP can process any proprietary format, as long as it can be parsed.

The Credit Transfer feature ensures the processing of low value RON denominated payment instructions (credit transfer) corresponding to the operational flows required by the clearing&settlement systems (ISO20022 formatted messages).

The Direct Debit feature ensures the processing of RON denominated direct debit operations and related instructions corresponding to the operational flows required by the clearing&settlement systems.

The Debit Instruments feature ensures the processing of debit instruments instructions denominated in RON corresponding to the operational flows required by the clearing&settlement systems (proprietary xml formatted messages, associated images and meta-data).

Embedded single and multiple funds transfer instructions and settlement and reconciliation messages for securities.

The FX/MM feature, part of Allevo’s FinTP suite, performs the automation of treasury flows, of interbank loan or deposit confirmations or of interbank foreign exchange & money market operations.

The Instant Payments feature ensures 24/7 automated processing (STP – Straight Through Processing) of the SCT Inst (SEPA Credit Transfer Instant) payment instructions, corresponding to the clearing performed by the various available local or European systems (Romanian ACH, TIPS, RT1).

The Statemens feature processes instructions associated with the correspondent bank accounts management: statements for Nostro/Vostro accounts, debit and credit confirmations. Moreover, the feature automatically extracts relevant data from incoming/outgoing instructions in order to build various types of business reports.

FinTP provides technical integration for back-office applications, message conversion to / from various formats, message routing and monitoring.

FinTP provides various features that contribute to the banking operational risk containment, such as: accounting reconciliation, duplicate detection, transactions filtering, competitive alerts.

FinTP provides message filtering capabilities with detection of possible money laundering transactions against any type of sanctions lists, for both high and low value payments – various types of instructions and formats, such as: MTx, ISO 20022, proprietary structures (CoreBulkCreditTransfer), other instructions corresponding to financial instruments like cheques, bills, promissory notes, etc.

FMA is Allevo’s solution for mirroring transactions between the production and backup platforms, ensuring business continuity, data integrity and consistency. FMA provides real-time resilience at the transaction level, based on the message persistence in IBM WebSphere MQ, as well as a high degree of virtualization, which contributes to saving on important resources.

Performance reports useful to infrastructure architects. This tool assists technical teams in investigating performance issues and in validating a combination of deployment architectures (hardware and software) and operational architectures (different flows and configurations).

The main role of FinTP is to achieve automation of business, operational or technical flows. Embedded message routing mechanism, with two routing modes: based on rules and on content.

Support for message transformation, validation and error handling.

Alerts or early alerts can be configured for any events: possible duplicates, exception events for monitored communication channels, standard deviation or behavioral changes (competitive alerts).

All transactions are logged and can be traced back. The search capability allows easy identification of a transaction for investigation purposes.

The system is being audited and monitored to ensure best performance.

Technical integration between different business applications, including connectors for back-office systems and various internal applications (HR, loan management, credit scoring, factoring etc).

The original content of any transaction is persistent within the application. The original content is never changes. All transactions are enriched with status information: source or destination application, timestamp, updated status, possible duplicate flag, possible fraud flag etc. This additional information is used mainly for tracking and reporting.

FinTP by design ensures persistent end-to-end transactions. It features multi-threading capabilities and error detection and recovery mechanism.

This feature is useful to admins or operators for investigation purposes.

It is a tool designed to make the testing process more objective. Its main purpose is to assist and help people involved in the test and validation process, providing fast and complete checks of the application:

–        after the initial installation in the customer’s environment;

–        after configuration changes;

–        after the installation of major releases or patches, also known as regression testing;

–        after extending the product with new features.

It is built as a collection of modules that can be used on their own to test certain business or technical functionalities. The automated testing is performed:

–        in different deployment architectures;

–        for different versions of prerequisites;

–        for different technical interfaces with other applications;

–        for custom configurations.
