Fundtech Introduces OmniPAY(TM) for International ACH; Expanded FX Services Make Banks More Competitive; Adding New Revenue Sources from Fees and FX Transactions
OmniPAY for I-ACH is an intelligent payments hub that automates the processing of mixed payment files, simplifying the process. Corporates are able to send a single file of mixed payment types to the bank for processing - eliminating the need for special handling based on size of payment or destination. Once these files reach the bank, OmniPAY properly formats payments based on their destination, and routes them through the bank's existing payments infrastructure or to a correspondent bank.
OmniPAY's rules-based architecture makes it easy to offer customized VIP services to corporate clients. Among the many options, banks are able to customize processing by: account, time-of-day, priority, and currency. Banks will also be able to offer corporate clients sophisticated netting, bulking and float management. Real-time funds management and reporting of settlement are also possible. These higher-value services make banks more competitive and can command premium-fee pricing.
Gene Neyer, Fundtech's Vice President of Payment Products said: "The market for international ACH payments is expanding rapidly as companies of all sizes conduct their business globally. Banks must be able to serve this market with a simple solution that offers a wide variety of options. OmniPAY for I-ACH provides banks with an efficient way to handle these transactions while expanding opportunities for fee-income and FX profits."
