TRANSLATION OF MESSAGES TO AND FROM SECURE SWIFT FORMAT

摘要

The present invention facilitates handling of electronic messages between different computer networks and application programs by providing a message agent server system and a message format library system. The message agent server system (10) routes messages from application programs to external networks and external messaging systems. The message format library system includes message functions for formatting, translating, validating, reconciling, and/or parsing. In a financial services environment, the present invention facilitates communication of electronic messages by converting messages from a format used by a financial institution's network to the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) format.
