SWIFT to provide FIX hub messaging solution

Brussels, December 12 2001 - SWIFT today announced that it will offer a FIX hub messaging solution, powered by Financial Fusion. The SWIFTNet FIX hub solution will enable broker/dealers, investment managers, exchanges and ECNs to connect to a single, secure trading session with multiple counterparties. In addition, SWIFT will also support FIX point-to-point messaging via SWIFTNet.

The benefits to firms adopting the SWIFTNet FIX hub solution include single-session management, faster connectivity to pre-established trading partners, lower networking costs and easier access to counterparties worldwide. The hub will route, monitor and manage FIX message traffic, to the high degree of security and reliability required to relay live trade information.
