SFMS architecture primarily consists of the HUB, the Bank Gateway sites and the
Branch sites connected to one another in a well-defined hierarchy. The HUB and
the Bank Gateway sites are connected via VSAT communication links / leased
lines. The Bank Gateways and the Branch Severs can be connected via shared /
dedicated leased lines or Dial Up lines depending on proximity and the volume of
traffic.
In the above architecture, the messages are created from SFMS On-line / Offline
clients. In general Banks use different Bank applications for internal purposes.
But, the Bank external application generated messages have to be sent to
destination branches. For sending messages to destination branches, there should
be a carrier to carry messages to destination. For supporting the above condition,
SFMS has provided a secured messages interface module, which is known as the
BankAPI Interface.
The SFMS Bank API has the following components:
