MULTI-SCHEME CONNECTOR
seaPORT FlexBridge is a next-generation financial integration and protocol mediation platform designed to help Banks, Financial Institutions, PSP and Fintechs to seamlessly connect legacy payment infrastructure with modern digital ecosystems.
One Integration.
Every Payment Rail.
FlexBridge acts as an intelligent intermediary layer that bridges disparate payment schemes, card networks, real-time payment (RPP), open finance platforms and agent-based protocol—without requiring changes to existing legacy systems.
By abstracting protocol complexity and modernizing interfaces, FlexBridge enables financial institutions to adopt new payment rails, and scales digital channels faster, safer, and at lower cost.
Key Challenges Addressed
Financial institutions often face the following challenges and seaPORT FlexBridge solves these challenges by serving as a flexible, intelligent integration bridge between old and new architectures.
Dependency
Heavy dependence on legacy ISO 8583 and TCP-based systems
Cost & Risk
High cost and risk of modifying core banking or payment switch systems
Complexity
Complexity integrating with multiple payment schemes and networks
Time Consuming
Slow time-to-market for new payment products
Fragmentation
Fragmented interfaces across cards, QR, real-time payments, and open finance
Compliance
Compliance requirements such as PCI DSS for security, auditability, and resiliency
Core Capabilities
Multi-Scheme & Network Connectivity
FlexBridge provides a single integration point that connects to the following:
Domestic Schemes
International Schemes
ATM Networks
