“Over the last six years, we have performed a large number of custom technology integrations for our customers, and we have always had an eye towards opportunities to build products that help our customers achieve their goals
Zimulator is the first product to come out of Levvel Digital, a new division of Levvel focused on the creation of software products that help customers across multiple industries improve the efficiency and quality of their technical integrations. Zimulator is a cloud-hosted simulation of the Zelle network and provides a way for banks to test their integrations against in-network use cases of the Zelle network from multiple environments as efficiently as possible.
Zimulator is hosted in a secure dedicated AWS environment that allows authorized users quick and easy access from anywhere, inside or out of the bank, providing a single URL to access the full test environment. Zimulator takes all of the hosting configurations and headaches caused by plugging into testing environments and makes a seamless setup where financial institutions can get this service anywhere.
Levvel’s CEO, Chris Hart, says, “Zimulator is a game-changer for banks onboarding to Zelle or re-certifying with a new version of the specification by accelerating the development and testing of direct integrations.” Hart continued, “Digital product owners and technology executives are under intense pressure to bring competitive, differentiated products to market faster than ever, and the Zelle network plays an important role in many banks’ payments strategies.”
Another key component of Zimulator is the Bank of Zim, an intuitive counterparty bank experience that allows financial institutions to simulate the end-to-end lifecycle of a Zelle transaction. Bank of Zim provides a user interface where financial institutions can view and manage data from the perspective of another bank, as well as initiate transactions to test the inbound processing logic of their own Zelle integration. By simulating both sides of the process, banks can create a more complete and efficient experience.
