The integration layer between every payment rail you settle on.

Art2link ESB is the integration platform behind banks, treasury teams, and payment companies that move money in real time and reconcile in audit time. Native support for SWIFT MT/MX, ISO 20022, ACH, FedNow, and RTP - with the SOX, PCI DSS, and FFIEC posture your audit team requires.

The realities

What integration looks like inside a working bank.

Reality 01
ISO 20022 isn’t optional

SWIFT MT retirement is on the calendar. Real-time gross settlement, FedNow, RTP - all on ISO 20022 already. Translation between MT and MX is now load-bearing.

Reality 02
Sub-second is a baseline

Real-time payments expect end-to-end settlement in under 20 seconds. The integration layer is responsible for routing, authorization, fraud screening, and notification - on the same path.

Reality 03
The audit follows the money

Every transaction is an audit artifact. 7-year retention typical, longer for state-chartered institutions. The integration platform owns half the compliance surface.

Reality 04
Core banking won’t modernize fast

Even after 10 years of "core modernization" projects, FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry, Temenos still anchor the back office. The integration layer brokers between legacy core and cloud-native channels.

Payment rails

Every rail you settle on. Under one configuration surface.

Art2link supports every major payment rail with native message format handling, standards-compliant validation, and rail-specific compliance posture. Hover any rail to surface its timing, message standards, and use cases.
