  2. File Upload Process:

    • Upload files through the SFTP interface to designated directories based on the file type.
    • The system automatically processes uploaded files, validates their content, and integrates them into the corresponding financial workflows (e.g., transaction processing, ACH settlement, compliance reporting).

  3. File Status Monitoring:

    • After upload, users can track the processing status of their files (e.g., processed, rejected, errors) and take corrective action if necessary.
    • Detailed error reports or success acknowledgments are provided based on the file processing outcome.

  4. Compliance and Reporting:

    • Many of the files (e.g., TINMismatch, PCIStatuses) are critical for regulatory compliance and need to be regularly uploaded to meet legal and industry standards.
    • Files are subject to periodic audits and reviews as part of institutional compliance processes.

Security:

  • All file transfers through SFTP are encrypted to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive financial data.
  • Strong authentication and access control measures are in place to ensure that only authorized personnel can upload and manage these files.
