A future-ready Swift environment, delivered for Actinver

Actinver, one of Mexico's leading financial groups, partnered with IntellectEU to modernize its Swift infrastructure. The result: a stable, scalable messaging foundation powered by Catalyst Integration Manager and full ISO 20022 readiness for cross-border payments.

CHALLENGE

As financial institutions face mounting pressure to modernize their Swift infrastructure and align with evolving global messaging standards, Actinver, a leading Mexican financial group, recognized the need to comprehensively upgrade its systems. The scope of this modernization expanded significantly during the project, requiring a project team that could adapt and deliver a broader set of critical capabilities across environment upgrades, new CBPR+ transformations, and error service integration, all while coordinating tightly with Actinver's internal user acceptance testing (UAT) and deployment teams.

SOLUTION

IntellectEU delivered a phased modernization programme for Actinver, evolving alongside project requirements to provide a stable, future-ready messaging foundation. The team delivered CBPR+ transformations, enabling native ISO 20022 cross-border payment processing. To bolster reliability, IntellectEU integrated a SOAP Error Service, ensuring robust handling across the Swift pipeline.

The delivery was anchored by an integrated UAT strategy that unified CBPR+, Catalyst, and Error Services, accelerating validation while managing complexity. The engagement concluded with a comprehensive knowledge transfer, including bespoke deployment manuals and direct on-site support, ensuring a seamless transition and empowering Actinver's internal teams to manage their new infrastructure.

RESULT

Actinver has successfully modernized its Swift infrastructure, establishing a stable foundation, powered by Catalyst Integration Manager, and achieving full ISO 20022 readiness for cross-border payments. Despite an evolving project scope, IntellectEU's technical agility ensured the seamless delivery of a resilient messaging environment. This transformation not only meets current regulatory mandates but future-proofs Actinver's operations as ISO 20022 becomes the global standard, empowering their internal teams to navigate the evolving Swift ecosystem with confidence.
