The ultra-fast fiber optic network infrastructure leverages low-latency, secure messaging technology and stretches over 186,000 kilometres.

SIAnet is specially designed to meet the specific requirements of instant payments in terms of security, reliability and performance. Moreover, by virtue of the “always on” Active-Active architecture by SIA it ensures very high resilience and business continuity. This is consistent with the pressing demands coming from the market in terms of higher service levels.

TietoEVRY’s Payment Hub enables efficient and secure integration between Swedbank’s internal environment and the innovative network services provided by SIA. Based on open architecture, the solution facilitates access to other systems without the need for code changes.

ECB 10 year concession

Furthermore, Swedbank’s customers benefit from the 10-year concession from the European Central Bank. This is granted to SIA and Colt as Network Service Providers for the Eurosystem Single Market Infrastructure Gateway (ESMIG). Subsequently, the system goes live in November 2021.

This incorporates the settlement of large-value payments TARGET2, the instant payments settlement service TIPS, the securities settlement platform TARGET2-Securities (T2S), the Eurosystem Collateral Management System (ECMS) and possibly other new services and applications such as P27, the new Nordic Payments Platform.
