Today, your corporate clients have to manually log on to your bank's website, or initiate a dial-up or FTP connection, to download the important files and financial information they need. However, evolving distribution technology is changing the way in which your corporate clients can interact with time-sensitive banking information.
The internet is primarily designed for users to be able to request the information they need from various websites. However, the internet also opens the avenue for another type of communication - one in which the user can receive important and customized information they require before they request it. The term "push" technology has been applied to client/server applications used for this purpose.¹ Probably the most widely used push technology is email -- that is, the sender pushes the message to the receiver.²
Push applications can automatically search for specific information tailored for the user and deliver it when and where the user chooses - their desktop, email, pager or cell phone. The importance of these applications to the banking industry lies in their ability to provide very timely and relevant information for clients without any user intervention. In this way, cumbersome, scripted, dial-up or FTP downloads are replaced with seamless, hands-free, secure internet downloads of the exact information your clients needs.
Businesses and organizations everywhere are seeking ways to automate and streamline their cash management activities. Banks have invested billions of dollars creating online information reporting systems designed for their clients. By offering their corporate clients software solutions that make it easier to exchange information through their website, banks will not only increase their revenue stream and ROI, but will build stronger customer relationships.
AP Technology's Transporter is a patent-pending software solution that lets corporate clients automate two-way file exchange via your bank's website for DDA, account reconciliation, ACH, wires, SWIFT, EDI, statements, STOPs, positive pay, lockbox, or any regular communication.
Transporter technology allows a bank to securely push requested communication to their corporate clients and to automate information exchange based on a client's specific requirements.
