Getting Connected

RTGS.global operates a closed network running on Microsoft Azure. This private network ensures maximum security for all participants.

To connect, choose the option that matches where your existing systems are hosted.

Option 1: Microsoft Azure​

If you have a presence in Microsoft Azure, you can connect using the Azure Marketplace installer. Follow the Azure Integration guide.

Option 2: AWS, GCP or On-Premise​

If you are hosted outside of Microsoft Azure, you can connect your network to the RTGS.global VPN server to access the API over the internet. Follow the VPN Integration guide.
