Drowning in complexities:
End support for the Swift Integration Layer (SIL)

Financial institutions and corporates handle millions of payments globally. The challenge is to automate messaging flows without changing or abrupting the legacy systems used in the back-office systems.

Swift Integration Layer (SIL) is a lightweight, customizable add-on software that automates back-office flows by connecting them to Swift without modifying existing systems. However, with the upcoming end of Red Hat Fuse support in mid-2026, Swift has put an end to support for the Swift Integration Layer (SIL) by June 30, 2026, by evaluating the changes and setting a clear course for the future.

Swift Integration Layer (SIL) will be discontinued in 2026
