AIB Hub Activities
The AIB Hub is the IT platform we operate connecting the national GO registries of our members for transfers of guarantees of origin. In April 2025 we launched a new Hub. Since 2012, the number of transfers has increased nearly 20 times, making this renewal essential to ensure continued efficiency and reliability.
The AIB has switched to a completely new solution of the Hub, including a complete technological revamp. We moved from a monolithic Hub platform to a modular architecture: the data management processes (reporting, statistics, VAT fraud checks, etc.) and the actual GO transfer platform are rebuilt as separate modules.
Also, we have introduced an option to start using a new message protocol (AMQP instead of SOAP) and file format (JSON instead of XML), which will avoid transfer congestions when adapted by all members, and we moved to the latest Java technology. The new AIB Hub is operated by Unicorn Systems.
What has changed?
- We moved from a monolithic Hub platform to a modular architecture, separating data management (reporting, VAT fraud checks, etc.) from the actual GO transfer processes.
- We introduced an option to start using a new message protocol (AMQP instead of SOAP) and file format (JSON instead of XML), which brings multiple technological benefits and will make the process of transferring GOs more efficient and resilient. AIB members will gradually introduce these changes into their national GO registries over the next 1-2 years.
- The new Hub runs on the latest Java technology, ensuring long-term sustainability and security.
