3 Capabilities The Payteq Payment Foundation (PPF) is an integrated collection of standard payment services presented on a SOA platform. Interchange 2015 is our SOA platform of choice and combines as a component integration tool that forms the framework to build process-flows that process electronic mass payments (EFT & NAEDO), single real-time payments (RTC), Accountholder verification (AVS) requests and related non-financial transactions (PCH reports), reliably and efficiently with need-to-know events and notification on process progress. PPF uses Windows Authentication (Kerberos) and Federation Server to manage user roles and access. Our role based access control (RBAC) provides a simplified way to manage groups, business rules and authorisation policies in a secure infrastructure. PPF addresses high availability by providing out the box Failover Clustering and Network Load Balancing with sync point restart to eliminate single points of failure. The platform allows for scaling out to n servers depending on capacity planning load requirements. Load balancing is taken care of either by message queues or hardware switches. The PPF provides a single consolidated UI through our Insight 2015 to launch PPF and custom application servers and allows for a customizable home page to display your enterprise-wide focus activities. Our Servers and Services are billing-aware to enable our centralised billing engine to automatically process invoices and statements. In the PPF, Interchange moves data safely and efficiently between processes and between similar and diverse platforms, ensuring a reliable payment delivery, with integrity and privacy as part of the process and with a minimum level of manual intervention. Data is moved and converted to formats native to the receiving platform, or to a user-customizable format. Below is a review of the Payteq Payment Foundation features that implement this robust functionality. Key Features Single processing platform for all Low-value electronic payment streams: The system has the ability to distinguish between different payment-streams (e.g. EFT, EDO or RTC): All payments are processed on the same platform with an integrated service orientated payments architecture. Integrated service orientated payment architecture: All external, internal and user interfaces are connecting to a single foundation technology platform called Interchange. Interchange orchestrates the firing of appropriate process-flows to deliver a defined service.

4 Key Features Continue Security is paramount: Users are authenticated and entitled by Windows Authentication on a domain controller through a Federation Server within your organisation. Entitlement Server 2015 manages the user s roles. Connectivity to web services in Interchange is through SSL mutual authentication. Configurable rules based system: Business professionals can model existing process-flow to suit business requirements for fee structures and processing concept to market with no IT intervention and zero downtime.

Central system-wide monitoring and event management: Insight Server provides a global view and management of events as they occur in PPF. Single consolidated User Interface for accessing all applications and services available on the PPF platform: Insight 2015 provides you with an integrated user interface with a single logon to access systems defined in Interchange 2015 as per your access permissions and role. Built in failover: Synchronisation points allows for processing to be completed on a different machine when the original machine fails. Supports load-balancing: The solution could scale out with any number of servers depending on the demand. Incoming and outgoing data will be shared amongst the available servers for processing. Customisable User Interface: You can customise your home page in Insight 2015 and create a tailored dashboard for your individual needs. Cater for multiple data formats: Although we are SOA compliant, PPF is capable of accepting data in other non-xml formats and converts the data into the internal XML format before processing. Caters for multiple communication protocols: Although the primary communications protocol is TCP/IP using web services, PPF caters for a variety of legacy protocols with support for message orientated middleware such as Connect Direct, XCOM and MQ Series. Generate multiple message formats: In addition to industry standard payment file formats such as ISO 2022 PPF also caters for local proprietary formats e.g. BankServ ACB, Standard bank CATS, FNB PACS, Nedbank CPS or Absa LDC etc. Global view of all payment transactions: Filters are available to view per payment stream, action date, client account, amount or reference number and other filters. Set blocked days for processing (no processing): PPF maintains a processing calendar and will not fire any processes linked to this calendar on blocked days.

Segregation of duties: User actions can be set to be authorised by another user in the same group, system wide or of a higher authority. Store for forwarding, auto retry and alternative processing: Interchange has the ability to store messages/files for later processing as configured or when the receiving system is up.
