SOAP is bleeding edge in banks. Many still pull and push files to/from (S)FTP

I've done integrations with the SAP systems of a few companies. They all had problems with calling SOAP and preferred integrating through SFTP. Apparently SAP programmers have a problem using SOAP or any other sane endpoint.

Of course it's possible.

I mean, arbitrarily picking whatever happens to be a popular comms protocol, with no regard to its functional validity, was how they got to SOAP in the first place.

Probably the only thing stopping them will be the byzantine budgetary processes that quasi civil services have.

If you're willing to invest a gazillion dollars:

- re-implementing all the processes at the receiving bank

- re-implementing all the processes at the sending bank
