Online ATM and Debit Issuer System for PhoenixEFE
Solution Overview
EZswitch® is an ATM/debit middleware system that provides an interface to the core banking system and an interface to an ATM/EFT network who supports an on-line authorization channel for ATM and debit issuer transactions. The system may operate on either a CSFi-supplied server or a virtualized (VMware) environment. The core system will perform transaction authorizations using the current balances and when unavailable EZswitch can perform stand-in authorization using a combination of card limits and a positive balance file (PBF). The PBF can be updated using one of two methods: the first method is through a real-time update as ATM/debit issuer transactions are processed and the second method is a full update from the core system that may be performed multiple times throughout the day.
Solution Benefits
- ATM and Debit transactions are authorized using current balances and immediately reflected in other banking applications
- Eliminate exposure to risk by authorizing transactions against current account balances
- Take advantage of the flexibility to change ATM/EFT network providers seamlessly without interfering with the Phoenix authorization interface
- Our online interface is certified against new Phoenix core software releases
- Single point of card maintenance entry reduces data disparity between systems by reducing the total number of entry points to one
- If the Phoenix core authorizing system is unavailable, EZswitch can perform stand-in authorization. This function leads to a substantial cost savings when compared to allowing the ATM/EFT network to stand-in
