It delivered a holistic cash management system including collections, payments, accounting management of both customers and their partners through focusing on entire supply chain.

The bank rolled out e-banking for large corporates to create links with customer's internal financial system, multi-channel disbursement and collection/bill payment with round-the-clock support and virtual accounts solution to support and manage receipt of funds from multiple unspecified clients. The focus on multi-banking has been immense as its platform connects with more than 30 banks and large financial institutions to carry out money transfer, and internal capital transfers.
