ARS Channels & Integrations let you deploy address resolution as a sidecar beside your existing payment infrastructure — no core replacement — connecting through six native channels and pre-built connectors for MuleSoft, Volante, Finastra and SWIFT Alliance. Most teams connect a first channel within days.

The sidecar model

Correction belongs beside the rail

No system to rip out

ARS runs as a sidecar service alongside existing infrastructure, repairing messages in real time or running a one-time cleanup on legacy data. Correction belongs beside the rail, not inside the core — so there is no system to rip out and no migration to schedule.

Six native channels

Every channel, one engine

Every channel resolves against the same engine, the same database and the same audit trail.

Channel	Pattern	Best for
REST API	Synchronous request/response	Real-time decisions in a customer journey
MCP	AI-agent / copilot interface	Agentic and copilot integrations
IBM MQ	Enterprise message bus	Bank-internal, high-volume bus integration
Apache Kafka	Streaming	Very-high-volume analytics pipelines
SFTP	File exchange	Nightly batches with no UI
JDBC / Database	Direct DB integration	DB-to-ARS pipelines on the system of record

Mix channels freely

Many customers run REST for real-time decisioning and SFTP for nightly batch on the same Channel Profiles, with no quality penalty for mixing channels.

MuleSoft Anypoint

Volante VolPay

Finastra FusionFabric

SWIFT Alliance

ARS integrates with SWIFT through Alliance Access and Alliance Lite2, bringing structured-address correction to your existing SWIFT estate.

Config, not code

Channel Profiles

A named, reusable bundle of processing defaults — scheme, direction, output mode, corridor, repair preferences and regulatory flags — registered once and referenced by name in every call.

Scheme upgrades roll out as config

Upgrades such as SR2025 → SR2026 roll out centrally per channel without a code release. A single institution can run multiple profiles (SCT_OUT, CBPR_IN, FEDWIRE_OUT) side by side.

Five guarantees

Across every channel

One core, one database — unified audit, lineage and observability across all channels.
Governance is mandatory — every request resolves against exactly one Channel Profile; no path bypasses governance.
Enriched traceability — async channels carry a canonical key (file ID, customer ID, channel, original name) end to end.
Per-tenant isolation — file-system, logical and auth isolation; reports scoped to the tenant.
Audit & retention — all events persist, keyed by request/file ID, with a 365-day backup default.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. It deploys as a sidecar alongside existing infrastructure and connects through standard channels, so no core replacement is required.

MuleSoft Anypoint, Volante VolPay and Finastra FusionFabric, plus SWIFT Alliance Access and Alliance Lite2. REST, MCP, IBM MQ, Kafka, SFTP and JDBC cover the rest.

Yes — for example REST for real-time and SFTP for nightly batch on the same Channel Profiles, with no quality penalty for mixing.

Through Channel Profiles: upgrades such as SR2025 → SR2026 roll out per channel as configuration, with no code release.
