At Sibos 2025, Finastra presented its Trade Innovation Nexus integration layer.
This new solution is designed to expedite the adoption of its Trade Innovation software by enhancing interoperability between bank systems and the wider fintech network. It streamlines trade and supply chain automation, offering advanced integration management capabilities and better data and business visibility, which facilitates quicker development processes for banks.
Finastra’s latest initiative
The solution introduces a suite of REST APIs, integration tools, and services that connect Finastra’s trading software with various third-party platforms, including core banking systems. It addresses the integration needs across four key areas: maintenance, transactions, building, and connectivity.
One of its strengths lies in robust data management, which automates static or reference data upkeep while analyzing supplementary information essential for operating the bank’s trade solutions, such as system customization details. The transaction aspect centers on lifecycle management, automating workflow processing to allow users to act upon transactions within their Trade Innovation software.
In addition, it simplifies user onboarding by ingesting data from diverse upstream systems and creating new transactions. Pre-defined adapters play a crucial role here by connecting with other platforms in the trade ecosystem. These features collectively aim to modernize trade finance, support digital trade, and ensure secure, scalable integration. Finastra envisions that this solution will enhance scalability and resilience, helping banks reduce integration complexity, cut costs, and expedite legacy system migrations.

This module employs algorithmic decision-making to determine the most appropriate route for payments, considering factors such as cost, speed, available schemes, and regulatory compliance. It supports high-value cross-border transactions by identifying efficient correspondent banking chains and assists with mass and instant payment operations.
