Payment Initiation

Cobase centralizes and streamlines payment initiation across all your banks, entities, and payment types. Whether payments are uploaded from your ERP or created manually in the Cobase interface, the platform ensures that each payment follows the right approval flow, uses the correct format, and is routed to the right bank — all from one secure environment.
