In 2025, the global payments infrastructure is evolving faster than ever. Real-time payments are no longer a dream; they’re an expectation. From exporters in Mumbai to Importer is EUROPE. Global customers now demand faster, cheaper, and transparent cross-border payments powered by instant payment rails and domestic payment networks.

Yet for most banks, the systems driving international money transfers still depend on legacy infrastructure-built decades ago slow, complex, and expensive to maintain. That’s about to change. Introducing BRISKPE XPI, a next-generation Cross-Border Payment Infrastructure that enables banks to modernize payments, connect to domestic instant payment networks, and move money globally faster and smarter.

This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a revolution in financial and fintech infrastructure, designed to make global transactions seamless, compliant, and near instant without forcing banks to rebuild their global payments systems from scratch.

The Legacy Problem: Why Banks Need to Evolve

For decades, banks have been the backbone of global trade, powering trust, compliance, and reliability across borders. But the international banking system that once defined efficiency is now showing its age.

Traditional cross-border payments still rely on SWIFT-dependent networks, where every transfer passes through multiple intermediary banks before reaching its destination. Each intermediary adds processing time, hidden fees, and layers of compliance checks often without real-time visibility into the transaction journey.

Behind the scenes, every global transaction touch multiple system within a bank:

• Core Banking Systems managing accounts and balances
• Trade Operations handling documentation and regulatory checks
• Online Banking Platforms serving customer interfaces
• Transaction Monitoring Systems screening for AML and compliance
• Document Management Systems storing KYC, invoices, and proofs

While these functions are vital, they often work in isolation, creating silos that block real-time payment processing and slow down the overall cross-border money movement. To make matters worse, most banks lack local collection accounts in foreign markets, limiting their ability to settle or receive payments directly. This dependence on correspondent banking networks adds complexity, increases costs, and weakens transaction transparency.

The result?

• Payments take days to settle
• Costs multiply with every intermediary
• Transparency fades across the chain

But the new era of financial infrastructure works differently. Collections now happen locally, reducing the need for intermediary chains. SWIFT dependency is minimized or replaced by interoperable digital payment rails. Automated compliance monitoring reduce manual checks. And same-day settlements have become the new global standard.

Banks don’t need to rebuild from scratch; they simply need to evolve with the right technology that makes their existing systems smarter, faster, and future ready. That’s where BRISKPE XPI comes in helping banks transition from legacy fragmentation to seamless, modern interoperability in cross-border payments

Enter BRISKPE XPI – Redefining Global Payment Interoperability

Cross-border payments are evolving faster than ever, but the systems supporting them haven’t kept up. For most banks, achieving true real-time money movement still feels like trying to run a modern marathon in legacy shoes. That’s exactly what BRISKPE XPI aims to change.

Built for banks and financial institutions, BRISKPE XPI (Cross-Border Payment Infrastructure) is a unified API layer that modernizes legacy payment systems and enables real-time cross-border transactions without forcing a complete rebuild. It preserves what banks do best: trust, compliance, and control, while powering what today’s world demands speed, transparency, and interoperability.

By connecting directly to BRISKPE’s global payment network, XPI enables instant settlements, smarter routing, and automated compliance all within one secure, scalable, and future-ready framework. In simpler terms, think of XPI as the missing bridge between traditional banking systems and the new era of digital payments and financial infrastructure.

The XPI Framework: Built for Banks, Engineered for Scale

Modern cross-border payment infrastructure demands more than speed; it requires interoperability, automation, and scale. The BRISKPE XPI Framework brings all three together, empowering banks to modernize how global transactions are collected, processed, and settled.

BRISKPE XPI: The Intelligent Bridge Between Banking Systems

The diagram represents how BRISKPE XPI integrates into a bank’s ecosystem, acting as a middleware layer that bridges collection data, trade systems, and the core banking system (CBS) enabling cross-border trade payments and compliance flows.

Detailed Flow Explanation

1. Inbound Data Capture and Integration

• Collection Info → BRISKPE XPI
  • This module represents the inflow of payment or collection of details from external or domestic systems (e.g., PSPs, marketplaces, and payment aggregators).
  • BRISKPE XPI receives these inputs through APIs, validating payer information, amount, and compliance parameters.
• Banking Mobile App → BRISKPE XPI
  • The bank’s front-end channels (mobile/online apps) connect to BRISKPE XPI for customer-initiated trade payments or collections.
  • BRISKPE XPI exposes APIs for account validation, reference mapping, and transaction acknowledgment back to the bank’s UI.

2. Processing Layer – BRISKPE XPI

• Acts as the middleware orchestration engine.
• Performs:
  • Trade Payment Routing – Determines whether transactions are inward or outward remittances and applies correct purpose codes.
  • Compliance/AML Triggers – Pushes KYC/transaction data to trade systems for risk assessment.
  • API-based Posting – Transmits validated transactions to the CBS (Core Banking System).

3. Core Banking System (CBS)

• The central transactional hub manages all customer accounts, settlements, and GL entries.
• Receives trade payment instructions from BRISKPE XPI and posts corresponding debit/credit entries.
• Interfaces with:
  • SWIFT System – For cross-border trade payment messaging (MT103, MT202).
  • Trade Systems – For compliance, AML, and monitoring processes.
  • Retail/Online Banking – To display trade transaction status and statements to end users.
  • LMS/LPS (Loan or Liability Processing Systems) – For integrating trade finance products.

4. Trade Systems

• Includes:
  • Compliance Engine – Validates trade documents, IEC, purpose codes, and sanctions.
  • AML Monitoring – Flags for suspicious or threshold-breaching transactions.
  • PIU (Payment Information Unit) – Maintains reporting standards for regulatory submissions (EDPMS, IDPMS, FIU).
  • These systems interact with both upstream (XPI → CBS) and downstream (CBS → Trade Systems) to ensure full regulatory and operational closure.

5. SWIFT System

• Used for external communication to correspondent banks.
• Sends trade-related payment messages from CBS, completing the outward remittance process.
• Receives confirmation messages (e.g., MT199, MT999) that flow back into CBS and then through XPI to update transaction status.

6. Middleware Cloud Layer

Typically handles authentication, queue management, and logging for all integrations.

Represents API gateway, message broker, or microservices environment (possibly bank-hosted or cloud-based) that ensures secure, scalable data flow between CBS and XPI.

Enhancement Recommendations (for Tight Coupling of CBS & Trade Systems with BRISKPE XPI)

1. Real-Time API Integration

• Replace or supplement batch uploads with REST/ISO-20022 APIs between:
  • XPI ↔ CBS (for posting, status, account inquiry)
  • XPI ↔ Trade Systems (for compliance checks, purpose code validation)
• Implement bi-directional data sync via webhooks or event streaming (Kafka/AMQP) to reduce reconciliation delays.

2. Middleware Enhancement

• Introduce an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) or API Gateway to centralize routing between BRISKPE XPI, CBS, and Trade modules.
• Define message schemas aligned to ISO-20022 standards for trade and remittance data.

3. Unified Customer Reference (CRN/UCIC) Mapping

• Maintain a shared master key across XPI, CBS, and Trade Systems.
• Enables instant lookup for compliance, AML alerts, and FIU mapping without manual reconciliation.

4. Compliance Hook Automation

• Automate KYC, sanctions, and EDPMS/IDPMS validations within XPI before CBS posting.
• Push structured responses (OK/Reject/Error) back to CBS in real time.

5. SWIFT Message Parser within XPI

• Add SWIFT MT message parsing capability to XPI so that CBS doesn’t need manual tagging for trade credits/debits.
• Enables faster updates on remittance confirmation and auto-closure of trade entries.

6. Monitoring & Reconciliation Dashboard

• Extend XPI to host a transaction monitoring and reconciliation layer that continuously matches:
  • XPI → CBS transaction IDs
  • CBS → Trade reference IDs
  • CBS → SWIFT confirmation IDs

7. Cloud-Native Deployment

• Containerize XPI and middleware components (via Docker/Kubernetes).
• Use message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ/Kafka) for guaranteed delivery between systems.
• Enable CBS and Trade Systems to consume these APIs through secured VPC peering.

Result:

• Near real-time settlement and compliance sync
• Instant visibility for CBS and Trade Systems
• Reduction in manual reconciliations and file-based delays
• Bank + Fintech synergy with high scalability and auditability
