A message is routed in a financial transaction system comprising at least one end user device, at least one financial provider and a financial switching engine. The message is of extensible format comprising a plurality of tags, preferably where the message has a header containing address information and a body containing the payload including tags, the tags facilitating routing the message and processing the financial transaction. Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) may be used. Thus new or additional types of information, such as photographs or fingerprints, may be included in the messages without structural or programming changes to the system. The financial transaction systems may comprise plug-ins. |
