Case Study: Government Regulator for Financial Services achieves real-time detection of financial crime with Axway API Gateway

Axway API Gateway Partnering with Banks to Detect Financial Crime

A government financial regulator responsible for anti-money laundering and counter‑terrorism financing needed a secure, high‑performance gateway to receive and analyze millions of bank transactions daily. The Agency’s priorities were a virtualized, standards‑based solution that would integrate with banks’ APIs (REST, SOAP, JSON, XML, etc.) without adding latency or disrupting bank operations.

The Agency deployed Axway API Gateway as a virtual appliance on VMware, providing multi‑layer transport and message security, policy enforcement for authentication/authorization, and elastic scalability for real‑time transaction scanning. The implementation enabled continuous, secure data feeds from top banks, real‑time anomaly detection and audit trails, delivered high availability and performance, and led to one bank adopting Axway for its own use.
