Simplified and Secure Global Banking Doesn’t Have to Be a Myth
In today’s fast-paced financial world, enterprises find themselves juggling multiple banks, currencies, and regulations to keep operations running smoothly. For global organizations, this complexity can feel overwhelming. The challenge is not just about managing various banking relationships; it’s also about securely transmitting financial data in different formats—without errors, delays, or breaches.
BankFabric was designed specifically to tackle these issues head-on. As a secure, SOC 2 compliant solution, BankFabric delivers universal connectivity for enterprises managing financial operations across multiple banks, multiple ERP systems – across several regions, and currencies – and multiple connectivity standards. It alleviates the headaches associated with maintaining multiple file formats, keeping up with evolving standards, and guaranteeing robust security throughout the transfer process.
Key Challenges in Enterprise Banking Connectivity
Fragmentation
Fragmentation can be seen on a system level. When companies rely on manual file uploads to manage banking transactions, small mistakes can lead to large-scale problems. Inaccurate amounts, incorrect bank details, and missed deadlines cost time and money. Many banks themselves grapple with fragmented systems, multiplying the challenges for enterprise clients.
Fragmentation can also be seen happening on a geopolitical level. In a recent article from SWIFT called “Growth at a crossroads: New report reveals high cost of financial fragmentation” the article concludes that fragmentation is driven by global tides such as geopolitical tensions. What is the cost of fragmentation?
“The findings make it clear that fragmentation benefits no one. It adds friction to international trade and hinders economic growth on a global scale, with projected global GDP losses ranging from -1.2% by 2030 in the best-case scenario, to almost -6%, or the equivalent of $6.5 trillion, in the worst case.”
Diverse Banking Standards
There’s no universal format that all banks adhere to. Regulations and file formats vary by region, and these requirements change frequently. Keeping track of them, especially across multiple countries, demands constant vigilance and resources.
Security Risks
Handling sensitive financial data through unsecured channels can expose businesses to fraud, data theft, and compliance violations. Enterprises must ensure robust encryption and process controls to protect their most critical information.
How BankFabric Solves These Problems
Whether your organization uses SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, or a combination of different ERP systems, BankFabric integrates seamlessly. This means minimal disruption to your existing workflows and a single solution that works across different software landscapes. The heightened integration capabilities mean BankFabric can be tuned to a variety of applications and be highly accessible.
Going beyond accessibility, BankFabric has sincere adaptability when it comes to global banking coverage. BankFabric supports hundreds of pre-built banking formats and keeps them continuously updated. You don’t need to track down the latest XML layout for European SEPA transfers, navigating EBICS requirements in central Europe, BACS standards in UK, or the newest NACHA guidelines for U.S. ACH payments. BankFabric does it for you.
When it comes to security, you need stability. Encryption, authentication, and secure connections are at the heart of BankFabric’s architecture. All file transfers are automated, cutting out the error-prone manual steps that can compromise confidentiality or data integrity. This end-to-end security makes BankFabric an intensely defensive SOC 2 compliant software, warding off anybody who is trying to defraud you or your company.
Data security is always at the forefront of an executive’s mind. Using BankFabric does not mean relinquishing control over where your data is stored. BankFabric allows you to store your data within your own cloud environment. This way an enterprise can have peace of mind knowing their data remains under their own precautions and not the standards of a third party.
Finally, BankFabric’s built-in automation handles high volumes of transactions, growing in tandem with your business, making it scalable. Whether you send a few files a week or thousands daily, the system adapts without missing a beat.
Enterprise Benefits
BankFabric was built with an enterprise mindset. With BankFabric, all banking communications—from secure file storage to payment file uploads—are consolidated in one secure interface. It eliminates the chaos of logging into multiple bank portals, using various credentials, and navigating different user interfaces. This centralized banking management system takes all enterprise needs into consideration.
Furthermore, by reducing manual uploads and consolidating data flows, BankFabric frees up your team’s time for strategic decision-making. The result is fewer resource-intensive tasks and more focus on critical financial planning, analysis, and forecasting. The term that best encompasses this capability is ‘operational efficiency’. Operational efficiency refers to the ratio between an organization’s inputs (time, resources, money) and its outputs (goods and services). The more output a company produces with the same or fewer inputs, the higher its operational efficiency. BankFabric is a catalyst for operational efficiency.
Despite its current state, the world will continue to evolve. Things like banking regulations and technology will inevitably change. BankFabric automatically updates formats and protocols as they change, ensuring you remain compliant and connected—without needing major system overhauls. This future proof connectivity lets businesses have a stress-free environment when it comes to these financial systems.
