Possible EBICS applications

Standard payment transactions

Process customer-initiated payments in all standard PAIN (payment initiation) formats. Payments from the bank to corporate customers are supported in the PAIN format or in the customary CAMT and SWIFT formats.

E-documents

Corporate customers receive e-documents without having to access e-banking.

Connection of electronic tax assessment decision (eVV)

Connect the electronic tax assessment decision with the aim of “setting up an electronic interface for the daily transfer of position, transaction and price data”.

As a replacement for file transfers

Lengthy, error-prone night processing is eliminated by automation or the use of EBICS aaS.

The basis for multibanking portals

In the future, EBICS will serve as the basis for a multibanking solution.

Innovative FinTechs

FinTech companies are increasingly relying on EBICS as the standard in payment transactions.

Harmonised connection to payment transactions

Would you like to offer your corporate customers a standard and highly secure connection for payment transactions? Most banks offer EBICS as standard for payment transactions. Use EBICS aaS for your corporate customers and reduce their vulnerability, as well as your own.

Customer-centred communication

As an option, you can offer the use of e-documents and save your corporate customers from having to log in to access statements or PDF confirmations. Login, downloading and saving are then no longer necessary, improving the efficiency of corporate customer accounting.

Customer benefits

By connecting the secure, simple and reliable eVV option to the EBICS interface, you enable the daily transfer of position, price and transaction data in CSV/XML formats. All assets are visible in the portfolio.
