Delivering transaction messages securely, reliably

Keeping transactions and messages secure is crucial in the financial services sector, whether you are a user of services or a provider of services.  When you process financial transactions, you also need robust and reliable services. You need to ensure smooth transactions with messaging services that are flexible enough to handle industry-standard and proprietary formats and that help you to exploit new markets quickly through the latest technology.  And you need different solutions for different types of end-user, for different values of transactions and for different types of transactions.

BT Secure Transaction Services have been meeting these requirements for over 20 years, delivering messages securely and reliably to support trillions of pounds-worth of transactions, from the smallest retail debit card transaction to the largest government bond trade.

A range of secure messaging solutions

BT’s expertise includes not only delivering products, but also helping its customers to implement network-centric business solutions to secure their business environment.  Whether the requirement is at the point-of-sale in a corner shop or in the back office of a global custodian bank, BT has a range of tools, professional services and products that help you achieve the right solution for your business needs.

BT recognises that “open standards” is a route that most of our customers want to take, whether it’s for messaging standards or for protocol standards – but implementing new systems and processes in order to benefit from open standards is a journey in itself.  In financial services there is a vast range of standards, both international and domestic, and both old and new, as well as the need to communicate using proprietary, non-standard systems.  BT Secure Transaction Services can address this multi-standard business environment, helping you to migrate from more-costly legacy systems to more-efficient new technology and applications.  As a global provider used by the largest financial institutions and corporations in the world, BT can also deliver solutions that have scalability and geographical reach.

Having the services and tools to exchange messages securely and reliably with other parties is one part of the business equation. But another element is, how do you reach those parties? BT Secure Transaction Services can also make use of the BT Radianz Cloud, which supports the largest secure networked financial community in the world. With over 15,000 customer locations and over 400 application service providers already benefiting as part of that community, BT can help you to reach more users faster and to reach more service providers more cost-effectively. And BT Secure Transaction Services include Internet capabilities, helping you to use the right type of network for securing the appropriate type of transaction messages.
