## Notice

Government Banking Service (GBS) require a Financial Transaction Reporting (FTR) solution that can report intraday position data using transactional data which is used to supply HM Treasury with key financial information, allowing them to effectively deliver government cash management objectives. GBS require a solution that can capture and consolidate data for multiple entities (i.e. The Government Departments bank accounts) and return the information in a format acceptable to GBS and HMT. The solution must be banking industry standard, scalable, flexible, easy to maintain and must have the ability to debt and credit customers' accounts using various file uploads. Additionally, it must have the ability to 'zero' customer accounts, GBS currently utilises a SWIFT bureau and continues to require this method of connecting to the banks.
