For corporate customers, the new online banking service provides total control of finance 24 hours-a-day. Also to managing own accounts, corporates can arrange local and international transfers, bill payments, transfer of salaries, vendor payments and much more in a secure environment.
Corporate customers can also arrange an authorisation matrix for carrying out transactions, whereby initiators and authorisers for transactions can be defined.
