SAP Multi-Bank Connectivity Integrations

SAP MBC provides the following options for secure integration with financial institutions:

SWIFT Connectivity

This integration is available for SWIFT customers and offers extra flexibility to support a multi-network structure of exchanging high volumes of messages and files.

3rd-party provider or non-member bank connectivity

In this case, the condition is that the customer is a member of EBICS, which uses an established digital signature and encryption procedures, allowing data file exchange independent of message standards and formats.

Host-to-host connectivity

A host-to-host connection is direct bank connectivity that allows sending messages from the corporate system to the corporate tenant and then to a bank back-end system. A contract with the bank for a host-to-host connection is the prerequisite for leveraging this type of integration.

Member bank connectivity

Banks can opt to join SAP Multi-Bank Connectivity as a member. In this case, they subscribe to the network to provide a more effortless and less-complicated integration for corporate customers utilizing SAP Multi-Bank Connectivity.
