Frequently Asked Questions

How does Numeral connect to banks?

For each bank and each payment method, we determine the best bank direct connectivity solution from available options (SFTP, EBICS, MQ, API, …). We then build the integration for the selection option, which consists in building the logic that transforms calls made to our API into messages and files accepted by the bank direct connectivity solution, and vice versa. We also build in the support and management of edge cases, bank servers unavailability, etc.
