Cashfac’s new real-time Kafka data feed enables high-performance integrations
Cashfac has launched its Event Streaming Solution, powered by Apache Kafka, a real-time data platform designed to support enterprise-grade event flows across internal systems, customer interfaces and external partners.
This strategic capability enables high value use cases, such as compliance logging, security event tracking, customer notifications and user interaction monitoring.
Real-Time Data Streaming
Low-latency, high-throughput data delivery. For Cashfac clients, this means:
- Immediate visibility into account transactions, balances, and reconciliations.
- Faster decision-making for treasury, client money management, credit control and operations
- Responsiveness for credit control, compliance monitoring, and client portals
Decoupled Architecture for Scalability
Enables multiple systems to consume the same data stream independently:
- For modular integration with ERP systems and reporting platforms
- Supports horizontal scaling as new services and volume are added
- Reduces dependency on batch jobs and tightly coupled APIs
Enhanced Data Integrity and Auditability
Kafka’s immutable log and message retention features support:
- Reliable audit trails for financial transactions
- Replayability of data for reconciliation or recovery scenarios
- Greater certainty in compliance and management reporting
Event-Driven Automation
Real-time feeds allow Cashfac clients to trigger workflows eg
- Sweeps including ICS (Intrafi)
- Escalations for exceptions (e.g., unmatched transactions).
- Dynamic updates to dashboards or client-facing apps.
Improved Developer Experience
Kafka integrates well with modern tech stacks:
- Easier for our clients and partners to build custom apps and analytics
- Supports integration with stream processing tools
Accelerated Product Development by Cashfac Clients
Enables clients to build innovative features directly into their own platforms:
- Accelerate product innovation with real-time data feeds, without needing to reinvent core banking infrastructure
- Improve customer experience by embedding account updates, payment activity, and cash positions into client-facing portals
The Event Streaming Solution offers versatile deployment options that can be tailored to client needs. It can be sold and operated with or without Q APIs, and with or without a Cashfac Browser Application.
