Switch Management System

Uninterrupted ISO-8583 Switching

Institutions and systems, which can communicate in accordance with ISO 8583 standards, can realize data communications by getting connected to each other via Banksoft Switch System if they can use any of TCP/IP, X25, SNA/LU0 protocols.

Banksoft ISO 8583 Switch System can operate with BKM, VISA, MASTERCARD and Diners protocols. Flow of transactions is performed in compliance with all safety rules required by these institutions.

The switch system can be integrated to the special ISO 8583 networks, in addition to standard institutions. Thus, banks can be integrated to brand sharing networks of various credit card programs (Advantage, World, Bonus, Maximum). It is possible to introduce a new system/institution by defining parameters, identifying prefixes and determining the transaction permissions of these prefixes.
