The two products are designed to handle different types of financial processing.

SWIFT Interact is designed for solutions where a real-time gross settlement system is in play, better known by its acronym RTGS. This type of processing is near real-time processing. In the US the FedWIRE for example is an RTGS solution.

The SWIFT Fileact is used for time-insensitive processing, i.e. batch processing. In such a system, financial transactions are queued up and then batch processed at a particular time. For example ACH is a batch processed system.

Though both protocols are handling financial transactions, the difference lies in the processing handling aspect of it.
