APIs play a big role in the security and interoperability of different computer systems in financial technology.
In the case of a digital or online transfer of money, such as a vendor payment, several pieces of information have to be securely transferred between computer systems such as fund transfer initiation, confirmation of receipt, verification of payment status, reconciliation, etc. Urban Z is an integrated payout API provider that safely and efficiently facilitates this communication on your behalf between your bank and your payees’ banks, so that you can send repeat and lump sum Payouts to your partners, vendors, customers and employees with an unbeatable success rate.
