<strong>SFMS</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Interface</strong> specifications Version 3.0<br />
1.1 Background<br />
CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION<br />
The <strong>SFMS</strong> system provides a solution for financial message communication across the<br />
Indian Financial Network (INFINET). The system enables exchange of messages in a<br />
highly secured environment. A message structure in <strong>SFMS</strong> (Structured Financial<br />
Messaging Solution) has been developed to take care of all kinds of Financial<br />
Transactions involved in Indian <strong>Bank</strong>ing System. The message structure is an adoption of<br />
an international standard SWIFT with minor modifications to take care of the additional<br />
messages required for Indian banking needs. The solution will enable the <strong>Bank</strong>s to carry<br />
out Inter-<strong>Bank</strong>/Inter-Branch transactions.<br />
With the Financial Network (INFINET) and a messaging format (<strong>SFMS</strong>) in place, it is<br />
envisaged that the <strong>Bank</strong>s will carry out Inter-bank and Intra <strong>Bank</strong> transactions<br />
automatically. In order to meet the requirements of Inter-bank and Intra bank<br />
transactions, we need to have an interface between <strong>SFMS</strong> and External <strong>Application</strong>s.<br />
This document provides the <strong>SFMS</strong>-External <strong>Application</strong>s interface <strong>Specifications</strong>, along<br />
with the details and functioning of the <strong>SFMS</strong>-External <strong>Application</strong>s Integration.<br />
<strong>SFMS</strong> API is the application interface for External <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Application</strong>s to send and receive<br />
messages. This is a part of the <strong>SFMS</strong> Online / Offline Server software. The document<br />
provides details about the interface Architecture, Message formats and about the interface<br />
examples.<br />
The intended audiences of this document are:<br />
• <strong>Interface</strong> Developers of <strong>Bank</strong>s<br />
• <strong>Bank</strong>ing application Vendors<br />
