Leading UK Bank is decommissioning its Universal Adaptor platform and migrating corporate clients to industry-standard payment and reporting formats with direct channel connectivity. The project involves onboarding clients onto host-to-host/SFTP connections and ISO 20022-based file formats for payments, collections, reporting, and select open-account trade financing flows.
