The Challenge & Solution

Serving paper levies is inefficient and costly, consuming time, money, and resources. Emailing electronic levies leaves sensitive PII vulnerable to exposure. The ANSI X9.129 electronic levy format offers a secure and efficient alternative, but implementing the standard can strain agency budgets and resources. Safari SOP simplifies the process by converting levies generated in spreadsheet, PDF, or JSON format into X9.129 electronic levies, ready for delivery to banks.

How it Works

Agencies generate levy data any format they want, which are securely uploaded to an SFTP server or a secure portal. Safari SOP, acting as legal agent for the bank, retrieves the files, leverages Microsoft’s AI-powered technology to convert them into X9.129 levies, and delivers them to the recipient bank. Because banks pay for all implementation and conversion costs, the solution is seamless and completely free for agencies.

Benefits to Agencies

  1. No Cost – It’s FREE
    Banks cover the costs to gain the advantage of receiving X9.129 levies.
  2. Cost Savings
    Eliminate expenses for paper, printing, and mailing.
  3. Time Savings
    Automation reduces time spent on manual tasks.
  4. Enhanced security
    Encrypted data transfer is more secure than mail or email.
  5. Streamlined implementation
    Connect to Safari once, and Safari manages onboarding for all banks.
  6. Easy to Get Started
    No system upgrades or technical expertise required.
