The
Interactive Financial Exchange Forum (IFX) was formed as an outgrowth of the OFX consortia many years ago. The OFX consortia focused on delivering solutions and standards for the personal financial management market for consumers. IFX was formed to grow that capability into the business banking, ATM, bank to bank, and payments lines of business. Over the years, there has been great success and adoption of the IFX specification, most notably by a vast majority of ATM vendors and OEMs. A
set of best practices have been published on the Micrsoft Deveoper Network (MSDN).
