Branch Banking Services Working Group

The purpose of the IFX Branch Banking Services Working Group (BBSWG) is to ensure that the IFX Business Message Specification (BMS) includes all the messages necessary to perform transactions through the bank branch and call center delivery channels. The BBSWG carries this out by modifying existing IFX messages and message flows to support Branch Banking and Call Center transaction sets and functionality, as well as creating new messages that enable functionality not currently in the IFX BMS.

Participants include banks, software providers, services providers and other organizations.  Representatives from the BBSWG participate in the IFX Architecture meetings, presenting proposed messages or modifications required to meet branch banking needs.  Face-to-face working meetings are held in conjunction with the IFX Forum quarterly meetings in locations as scheduled by the IFX Steering Committee.
