Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Aqua Global and what is Aquila?

Aqua Global is a software provider that has built financial messaging and reconciliation software for banks since 1983. Its platform, Aquila, is a modular hub that automates and controls the flow of Swift and local clearing messages across payments, treasury and securities, and it sits alongside a bank’s existing core banking system rather than replacing it. Aqua Global works with banks across 23 countries.

What kind of banks use Aquila?

Aquila is used by banks of all sizes and in many countries, from foreign bank branches and mid sized banks through to larger institutions. It suits any bank that wants to automate Swift messaging, payments, reconciliation and exception handling through a single hub that sits alongside its existing core banking system rather than replacing it, which is why it works across very different sizes and markets.

Can a bank add Aquila without replacing its core banking system?

Yes. Aquila is designed to run alongside a bank’s existing core rather than replacing it, connecting through the core’s APIs, so a bank can add native ISO 20022 processing, automated reconciliation and exception handling without a costly core migration.
