why it works

No Limits.

Unified dashboard views, automated failover, and multi-currency support ensure that you are ready for any eventuality and can deliver continuous transactional activity:

Central Dashboard View

Sybrin's solution aggregates all the bank's transaction sources into a unified, web-based dashboard view. The dashboard provides a customisable overview of items such as transaction channel usage, up and downtime, and exceptions. Sybrin can furthermore provide a detailed audit trail of all transaction events and sources and offer notifications and escalations to customers and users for specific events.

Third-Party Support and Auto Failover

Sybrin has full support for any transaction sources and destinations when processed and switched through the SPS. This enables excellent third-party payment source, and destination, support via the customisable communication protocol interface. In addition, Sybrin can intelligently re-channel transactions if they fail through one provider, ensuring payment completion.

Multi-Currency

Sybrin's Payment Switch can support as many currencies as needed without any limitations. It can either utilise a file uploaded from the Treasury with exchange rates or be linked directly to the bank's exchange rate system online. More so, the exchange of currency codes and numbers in message requests can all be maintained and customised in Sybrin as required.

Onboarding of Participants

This feature manages the onboarding of a new participant to the payment scheme, with options to:

Search for an existing participant (name, or registration status).


Special queue for each registration status, i.e., one for rejected registrations.


Allow completion of participant details.


Linking of bank/other accounts.


Setting of limits for the participant.

Net Debit Cap Management

Net debit caps help ensure that payment schemes can complete settlement even if a participant fails to settle:

Increasing and decreasing available clearing limits on different entities/levels.


Viewing settlement positions per the above entities.


Running a net-off settlement.

Monitoring

The switch operator can operationally monitor transactions via reports and real-time dashboards by:

Transactions.


Hub operators will have a search option with multiple criteria to identify single transactions and display statuses.


Summary views on total transactions processed in a defined time interval.


Net debit cap.


Performance.


Operational KPI to be displayed on a dashboard.


Alerts management.

Dispute Management

Provide managed business processes and rules regarding disputes, for example:

Payment to wrong recipient.


Fraudulent payments.


Facilitate disputes across different payment ecosystems (outside of payment scheme).

Reconciliation

Reconciliation of payment transactions:

Payments reconciled from various sources to various destinations.


Reconciliation of FX files.


Flexible business model (business rules and flows) to support various procedures to verify that two sets of records issued by two different entities match.

Liquidity Management

The Sybrin switch manager includes a liquidity management module:

Flexible business rules engine to configure liquidity calculations, allowing for custom solutions.


Keeps track of liquidity (net position) of specific entities.


Provides standard liquidity reports.


Visual real-time liquidity monitoring dashboard.


Configurable liquidity limits per different entities, i.e.: limit reached notification.

Alias Lookup Service

Proxy Payment is aimed at making payment processes easier by eliminating the need for customers to exchange information such as bank account details and instead rely on proxy identifiers such as mobile phone numbers or company names or abbreviations. The alias lookup provides the ability to find related aliases.

Fraud and Risk

The Sybrin Switch Manager allows configuration and monitoring of the Sybrin Fraud and Risk Module:

Access the FRM audit logs as provided by the core payment switch.


Management of parameters, rules.


Monitoring.


Reporting and dashboards.

Reporting

Sybrin's solutions provide several off-the-shelf reports. In addition, new reports can be supported in the following ways:

Use of the internal Sybrin Platform reporting engine, which allows for quickly building reports consisting of internal Sybrin Platform and external data sources. It is possible to separate reporting data to safeguard performance of the transactional system.


Reporting information can be exported to an external reporting solution, where products like Jasper reporting can be used.


It is possible for third-party tools to access the information in Sybrin Platform, which will be carefully monitored and managed by Sybrin Platform to avoid performance degradation.

Fee Management

Sybrin Switch Manager features a Data Model Notation (DMN) Engine, which allows for flexible, complex rules and mappings. This is used by our customers as a charges management solution.

Alternatively, Sybrin Switch Manager can access external fee management solutions, which are typically provided by some host banking solutions. The charges and fees can be obtained from external sources, internal lookup, or a combination of multiple sources if required.

Systems Management

This feature comprises three main components:

Role and user management: Manage and maintain roles and users including access.


Auditing: All actions on the User Interface are logged in a standard audit log.


Security: Logging of all security events and transmissions to SIEM, managing access credentials, and more.
