Overview

Institutions using Gateway are able to integrate into their Common Services systems the ability to:

• receive inbound transmissions in X9 format or from an FTM workflow
• create, route, or both, outbound transmissions in standard ANSI X9 format

Gateway is designed to:

• Work with Common Services to store data from FTM transmissions into the component database tables.
• Re-validate future dated work at the time that the business day is opened.
• Work with Common Services to perform end-of-day processing and ensure that all transmissions have been fully processed through the system.
• Process incoming transmissions that arrive in the Gateway source folder. It is not dependent on the file delivery method.
• Work with Common Services to store image data and addenda records from incoming ANSI X9 transmissions.
• Work with the Common Services servers to route outbound ANSI X9 format image cash letters.
• Accept non-image ANSI X9 format files created by a third-party cash letter or return items system, and insert properly formatted image addendum records, using images stored in the Common Services environment, into the files. Then, create image ANSI X9 files for delivery to another financial institution.
