Interbank payments network Swift has purchased Apt Computer Systems FIX Simulator for testing the SwiftNet FIX pilot service.
For the past three months the banking co-operative has been running its SwiftNet FIX pilot using Edinburgh-based Apt’s FIX Simulator as part of the testing for its hub. The agreement to use Apt for the pilot was negotiated and signed earlier this summer.
Matt Fox, SwiftNet FIX program manager, says: "Swift needed an easy to use, flexible and powerful tool for message exchange testing with the pilot firms connecting to our FIX hub. Apt's Simulator was the perfect fit."
