2  GLOBAL PAYPLUS PAYMENTS SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL SUPPLY CHAIN

THE EVOLVING WORLD OF PAYMENTS In the wake of the economic crisis, financial institutions have taken a new interest in payments, seeing it as one of the few areas for stable and predictable revenue and product growth. Even here, however, recent developments are posing technological, operational and competitive challenges. Increased customer demand has driven the development of new payment channels, including online and mobile, as well as a move toward real-time or immediate payments. Pressure to grow revenue and increase margins has driven transformation programs to reduce operational and transaction costs through streamlined, automated and consolidated systems. New national and international regulations such as Basel III, DoddFrank and the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) have demanded better liquidity and risk management through increased visibility, control and better reporting. And finally, the emergence of new competition in the form of non-traditional service providers has added another interesting dimension to a complex landscape.

The Challenges

The Solution

The payments business today is not without its challenges. Financial institutions face a number of significant hurdles, including navigating new payment channels; conducting multi-currency and multi-product payment operations in many different countries; and offering superior customer services in highly competitive and increasingly regulated environments. All of this while facing pressure from management and shareholders alike to increase revenues, reduce risk and lower overall operating costs.

Fundtech has more payments customers around the world than any other payments software solution provider. It offers payments solutions to enable financial institutions and their business customers to manage and process payments, and transfer funds in local and international environments in a cost-effective, secure and reliable way. Global PAYplus, Fundtech’s payments solution, helps financial institutions of every size to manage all types of payments, within and across national borders.

Global PAYplus combines an extensive set of payment services including high value payments, mass payments and immediate payments, in a single payments hub. The solution is based on a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Its strict adherence to industry standards makes integration with the financial institution’s existing technology infrastructure fast, easy and predictable. The use of SOA technology also leads to reductions in the complexity and cost of the firm’s hardware and software.

High Value:

Mass Payments:

Immediate/Faster Payments:

Enables banks to receive, process, and send wires, both incoming and outgoing, as well as clearing specific messages, processes and practices. Supports RTGS payments in Americas, EMEA, APAC as well as multicurrency cross-border payments via SWIFT.

Enables banks to receive, process, and send files that contain multiple payment, collection, and related transactions as well as individual transactions.  Supports ACH payments in Americas, EMEA, APAC as well as bilateral and multi-lateral clearing arrangements. 

Payment Solutions for Banks

Accommodates individual and bulk payments schemes whose turn-around time, from issuance of a customer’s original instruction, to the bank’s final response must happen in near real-time. Supports immediate payments in UK, Singapore, Sweden and soon Australia.

PAYMENT SOLUTIONS FOR BANKS Global PAYplus Using this solution, financial institutions are able to consolidate silos of legacy payment operations in a common shared payments hub that can be deployed globally, and yet controlled locally, simplifying operations and reducing operating expenses. By connecting and orchestrating channels, legacy payments systems, and their supporting back-office functions, payment services are coordinated and new products can be deployed quickly. A rules engine provides the flexibility to add new functionality in response to

changing industry and customer requirements, without the need to change code. Two Fundtech payments customers recently won Celent Model Bank awards for their transformative payments projects; likewise, two Fundtech payments customers also received technology awards from the Asian Banker.

Global PAYplus BUSINESS BENEFITS • Saves Time, Reduces Costs & Improves Operational Efficiency. The solution brings together payments details for many different payment types and from multiple systems to a central payment hub. Information is consolidated into a single view, saving staff time and ensuring that the number of interfaces and systems requiring management and maintenance can be reduced significantly. This means that in addition to payments processing being simplified, IT costs can also be dramatically reduced. Likewise, interfaces and tasks can be customized, helping users to prioritize tasks and focus on only those things that require their attention. In so doing, tasks can be streamlined and payments will move more quickly. • Reduces Risk. By reducing the number of interfaces, systems and stages in the process requiring manual intervention, operational risk will be reduced dramatically, throughout the payments process. The solution can additionally be

easily extended to incorporate more advanced liquidity and risk management capabilities. • Improves Customer Service. The solution brings a customer’s backoffice payments functionality to their online experience through STP@SourceTM that allows banks to increase straight-through-processing rates by engaging their customers as early as possible in the process. This means that financial institutions can immediately validate payment information at the source and thus require less downstream customer interaction, resulting in faster and more responsive service to their customers. The solution also allows banks to give their customers the flexibility they need to quickly and easily make and receive payments in real-time at any time, 24 x 7. This allows them to offer unique services – like Sweden’s Swish and UK’s PingIT – and to increase the velocity of commerce. Special features also allow banks to meet customers’ demands for real-time access to liquidity, as

well as enabling them to carry out transactions closer to clearing deadlines, and have credits posted as quickly as possible. • Enhances Decision Support. The solution’s dashboard provides mission-critical payments information in one consolidated view, allowing for easy monitoring and analysis of all aspects of the operation. The dashboard accumulates data over time and uses a baseline for normal behavior, issuing real-time alerts when abnormal trends are detected. This ‘birds eye’ view – both in real-time and over time – allows financial institutions to quickly and easily identify trends, avoid trouble spots and make informed decisions. Likewise, by readily providing only the most necessary information, users are able to quickly assess the information they need to do their job and make decisions without being burdened by unneccesary information.

In fact, Fundtech can help drive real savings in a very short time. For financial institutions looking to organize or transform their payments operations, Global PAYplus will save time, reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. It achieves this by bringing together different payment types, currencies and systems into a single, centralized payments hub, increasing STP automation, and consolidating information into a single view thus reducing the need for multiple interfaces and systems.

Fundtech’s payments solutions are designed to bring institutions into the 21st century and make them fully compliant with current demands in as simple and cost effective a way as possible. This gives financial institutions one consolidated view of mission-critical payments information, allowing for easy monitoring and analysis.

Wholesale and Retail – Global PAYplus offers solutions for wire and Automated Clearing House (ACH) processing and origination, cross border correspondent banking and all other payment instruments for both retail and wholesale customers. By automating payment validation and enrichment, checks on customer history, exposure management and the preauthorization of transactions, financial institutions can increase their transactions business while effectively managing risk. Billing and analysis functionality, automated returns processing, sophisticated foreign exchange (FX) processing and automated debit blocking allow financial institutions to improve and extend their relationships with customers, keeping them informed through proactive information delivery and enabling them to reward customers where appropriate through improved pricing. Using the solution, financial institutions can process account transactions faster and more dependably, and offer industryleading business capabilities to a wide range of business customers – from small and medium sized enterprises to global multinational corporations.

This gives financial institutions one consolidated view of mission-critical payments information, allowing for easy monitoring and analysis.

Liquidity and Risk Management – Demand for intraday liquidity continues to accelerate as banks and their corporate customers continue to expand their operations into foreign markets, boosting the volumes of cross-border and domestic transactions. As a module of Global PAYplus, Fundtech’s liquidity and risk solution provides banks with the tools they need to address new intraday liquidity monitoring and measurements standards, to meet the demands of new regulation but also to benefit from significant competitive advantage through improved processes, systems and ‘best practices’ for liquidity management. All payment transactions and liquidity events are consolidated in one place automatically, so that limit monitoring of inputs and settlements can be performed consistently and in real-time. Sophisticated forecasting and planning tools enable financial institutions to meet their payment obligations throughout the day as well as at end-of-day.

FUNDTECH SERVICES When it comes to implementing mission critical systems–particularly in today’s highly competitive and unpredictable economic environment– banks will do whatever they can to maximize IT investment. Taking a shortcut or a wrong turn at any stage in the implementation process can delay time-to-market, disrupt ongoing operations and lower overall efficiency in both the short- and long-term. This holds true right across the transaction banking spectrum–for payments, cash management, financial messaging and merchant services. Fundtech can help customers avoid these pitfalls. Since 1993, our global services group has helped more than 1,000 of the world’s leading financial institutions and corporations maximize the benefits of Fundtech products and achieve their transaction banking goals.
