Connectivity

APIs

Cobase supports premium bank APIs to enable real-time, secure, and high-performance connectivity between corporates and their banks. Where available, APIs provide faster data exchange than traditional channels and are especially effective for instant payments, intraday reporting, and automated bank account services.

Premium bank APIs can be used alongside SWIFT, EBICS, and Host-to-Host protocols — giving you maximum flexibility and coverage across all your banking partners.

Multi-bank connectivity made simple

Fragmented banking setups across systems, regions, and entities cause manual work, token overload, and inconsistent audit trails. Cobase centralizes all bank connectivity in one secure platform, eliminating the need for separate integrations and portals.

With one connection from your ERP to Cobase, you gain access to a wide range of banks. Cobase handles the complexity—authentication, formatting, and communication—behind the scenes.
