Integrations and automation
Connect iBanFirst to your finance stack to eliminate fragmented systems and unlock automation across your accounts payable process. The result? Faster workflows, less busywork, and fewer errors.
Connect iBanFirst with your finance systems
iBanFirst connects to your accounting software, internal tools, or other banks via iBanAPI, PSD2 API, EBICS, Isabel 6, or SwiftNet, plugging into your existing workflows to streamline payments, FX, reconciliation and more.
Rely on synced, centralised data
See cash positions and payment statuses at a glance, right from the tools you already use. Everything stays synced, so your team closes faster and makes decisions based on real-time numbers.
Reduce manual work
Cut out manual payment prep and spreadsheet stitching, so your team spends less time processing and reconciling payments and more time moving the business forward.
Avoid costly payment errors
Fewer manual steps means fewer mistakes. Automation helps prevent wrong payment details, currency mismatches and supplier payment delays.
Accounts payable, upgraded
Power up your accounts payable process with integrations and automation where it matters most.
Accelerate reconciliation
Speed up your month-end close. Automatically pull balances and transactions from your iBanFirst accounts to reconcile incoming and outgoing processed payments. Whether you need monthly statements or tailored extracts, connect via iBanAPI, PSD2 API, EBICS, Isabel 6, or SwiftNet.

How long does it take to set up iBanFirst integrations, and do I need a developer?
Setup time and technical requirements will vary by integration method:
Powens (PSD2): Quick setup that finance teams can handle themselves.
EBICS: Typically taking a few weeks, this more technical method may require developer expertise. iBanFirst can help to guide you through the setup process.
Custom API: Likely requires developer resources, although iBanFirst does provide documentation and support.
For specific timelines and technical requirements, it's best to contact your iBanFirst account manager.
Can I export my iBanFirst transaction data?
Yes, you can export your transaction data directly from the platform's Account section with no limits on the number of transactions or time period. Exports include all key details such as amounts, currencies, beneficiaries and dates.
