g) Applicable charges for connectivity¶
You will incur the charges as per your agreement with SWIFT.
E. Email¶
a) What is email?¶
Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients.
b) Information required from you¶
In order to use this protocol you must have a valid email address.
c) Software requirements¶
Functioning email server.
d) Security¶
Nedbank will digitally sign the email.
e) Applicable charges for connectivity¶
None.
A. Connect: Direct¶
a) What is Connect: Direct?¶
The Connect: Direct protocol is a file transfer protocol that sends data in near real time. Connect:Direct can be used over a leased line or over a public internet connection to connect to Nedbank. It can be configured to provide feedback on successfully sent files. The Connect: Direct configuration is required once the Connect: Direct software has been loaded. When the Connect: Direct configuration has been completed, the connection will be tested end to end. In most cases, Nedbank coordinates the installation.
b) Information required from you¶
- Your Static Public IP Address
- Your Server name
- Directory
- Connect:Direct will connect to port 1364 which must be provisioned on your firewall
Note: The email protocol does not guarantee delivery ie Nedbank can confirm the email has been sent but cannot confirm that you have received it.
c) Nedbank information you would require¶
- Leased Line: Static Public IP Addresses QA - PROD - DR -
- Internet: Static Public IP Addresses QA - PROD - DR -
- User name Unique per client
- Nedbank will issue one CA Certificate to you to upload on to your Connect:Direct software.
d) Hardware / Software requirements¶
The Connect: Direct software is compatible with the following platforms and operating systems:
- Z/OS
- UNIX
- LINUX
- Windows
- Select
- HP Non-Stop (Tandem)
- Open VMS
- OS/600 Series
- VM/VSE
- Gentran Integration Suite
Note: Contact your CIS manager for detailed Connect: Direct hardware and software requirements related to your platform or operating system. Certain LINUX versions are not supported.
e) Licensing¶
You will require your own Connect:Direct license or a spoke license can be issued from Nedbank. If you already have an existing spoke license with Nedbank you can use the same license to receive your TI files if capacity allows.
Note: You will not be able to use a spoke license issued by another entity to connect to Nedbank.
f) Security infrastructure¶
Connect:Direct ensures that your information stays private and that your file transfers are auditable for regulatory compliance through a proprietary protocol, authorisation and encryption.
g) Applicable charges for connectivity¶
If you require a spoke license from Nedbank there is a monthly license fee and a once off installation fee applicable.
Note: Contact your Transactional Banker for further information.
B. Secure file transfer protocol (SFTP)¶
a) What is SFTP?¶
SFTP is a secure file transfer protocol that sends data in near real time. This is a much preferred and enhanced version of transferring files in a more secured manner when compared with FTP (unsecured protocol for file transfer). There are licensing implications for both. A 'staging area' is required where the files will be put in your business environment to be picked up by an application for internal processing. It uses a fire-and-forget pattern and therefore no acknowledgment of receipt is required. You have two options when using SFTP protocol:
- You must exchange security keys with Nedbank and vice versa and
- You must supply Nedbank with a user name.
b) Information required from you¶
- Static Public IP Address
- User name
- Public key
- Port number 22 must be open on your firewall
c) Nedbank information you would require¶
- Leased Line: Static Public IP Addresses QA - PROD - DR -
-
Internet: Static Public IP Addresses QA - PROD - DR -
-
Public key and IP Address Unique per client
d) Software requirements¶
You will require a SFTP server that is compatible with Nedbank's system.
Note: Nedbank uses a Unix operating system SFTP software. Please confirm with your Nedbank Integration Manager.
e) Hardware requirements¶
The SFTP protocol is compatible with the following platforms and operating systems:
- Z/OS
- UNIX
- Windows
- Windows NT
- Mac OS X
Note: Contact your CIS manager for detailed SFTP hardware and software requirements related to your platform or operating system.
f) Licensing¶
The SFTP is for your own account.
g) Security infrastructure¶
Mutual SSL ie certificates issued from the SFTP software.
h) Applicable charges for connectivity¶
None
C. SWIFT FileAct¶
a) What is SWIFT FileAct?¶
SWIFT FileAct provides a way to transfer large volumes of data in different formats to your correspondents, whether you need to transfer mass payments information, documents, images, or other data. In the case of TI you can opt to receive your FTI, PTI and / or IOD files using SWIFT FileAct.
The mechanism used by Nedbank to transfer TI files on SWIFT FileAct is to use store and forward.
Note: Nedbank only uses store and forward for TI, ie realtime is not available.
b) Information required from you:¶
- Your SWIFT Address for QA and Production environment. Nedbank will accept the BIC8 or BIC11 SWIFT address.
- Requester DN Example: o="Client BIC",o=swift
c) Nedbank information you would require:¶
- Nedbank SWIFT Address for QA and Production environments are NEDSZAJJ.
- This information will be applicable to PTI, FTI and IOD:
- Request Type o PTI = pain.xxx.irtrpt or pacs.xxx o FTI = pain.xxx.eodrpt or pacs.xxx o IOD = pacs.xxx
- Responder DN: o=nedszajj,o=swift
- Files for File Act must not be compressed
- SWIFT Fileact Service to be used for store and forward: o QA = swift.generic.fast!p o Prod = swift.generic.fast
d) Hardware / Software requirements¶
- SWIFT Alliance Gateway
e) Licensing¶
There are no licencing requirements from Nedbank but you need to have a valid SWIFT Address.
f) Security infrastructure¶
FileAct uses SWIFTNet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that enables the authentication and the integrity control for every file transferred.
g) Applicable charges for connectivity¶
SWIFT charges a FileAct usage fee per transferred file. The transfer fees vary according to the size (in bytes) of the file and the institution's global tier. Nedbank will not levy a charge for connectivity, you will be charged as per your agreement with SWIFT.
D. Email¶
a) What is email?¶
Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients.
b) Information required from you¶
