The high-level architecture of Knox Wire

Financial institutions like banks, credit unions, loan associations, investment companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, mortgage companies, and others can use two functional scenarios:

The core system which requires pre-funding, in most situations, and allows clients to send near instant transactions to all Knox Wire participants and same day transfers to nearly 20,000.

The optional non-deposit system which allows two or more institutions to make an agreement directly to settle at a later date.
