Described Message Control System (MCS) that monitors message flows within FIIN and between FIIN and AIN components. Shown protocols between MCS and SS7, links between MTP and Service Transfer Point (STP) of AIN. Demonstrated MCS separation of data from control information, namely financial messages are processed separately from system messages, secret keys, certificates, confirmations, acknowledgments.; Location (x) and application (y) independence allows easy adoption of new services and products (Service Creation Environment) anywhere anytime. Four application sub-layers simplify the message flow architecture providing for highly flexible prioritization mechanism using queuing models.; FIIN communicates with retail and wholesale business customers in any combination between Business (B) and Financial institution (F): BY, F2F, B2B.; FIIN is successfully implemented for a major bank.
