Frequently asked questions

For Software Vendors

Why should we license TreasuryAgent instead of building our own bank connectivity?

Developing and maintaining direct connectivity with hundreds of financial institutions requires substantial engineering, testing, customer support, and ongoing maintenance. TreasuryAgent allows your development team to add enterprise-class bank connectivity quickly while remaining focused on enhancing your core application.

What types of software can integrate with TreasuryAgent?

TreasuryAgent is designed for virtually any financial application that exchanges information with banks, including:

Can TreasuryAgent be embedded into our application?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent may operate as a standalone application or be completely integrated into your software. APIs, command-line interfaces, monitored folders, scheduled tasks, database access, and other integration methods allow TreasuryAgent to become a seamless extension of your application.

Will our customers know they're using TreasuryAgent?

That's entirely your choice.

TreasuryAgent supports OEM deployment and can be fully branded as part of your application. Customers may experience TreasuryAgent as an integrated component of your software without requiring a separate user interface.

How does TreasuryAgent communicate with banks?

TreasuryAgent primarily automates the bank's online cash management website by communicating directly with its underlying application technology rather than navigating rendered web pages.

Where appropriate, TreasuryAgent can also communicate through existing bank file transfer platforms and other supported communication methods.

Does TreasuryAgent replace file transfer?

Not necessarily.

TreasuryAgent complements existing bank connectivity options. It can communicate through traditional file transfer platforms while also automating the broader capabilities available through the bank's online cash management website.

A file transfer platform tells your application that a file arrived. TreasuryAgent can automate the interactive banking functions that tell your application what happened after it arrived.

Can TreasuryAgent convert file formats?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent automatically converts outbound files into each bank's required specification and transforms inbound banking information into the format expected by your application.

Does our application have to change?

Very little.

Your application continues generating and consuming its existing business information. TreasuryAgent handles communication with financial institutions, reducing or eliminating the need for your application to implement bank-specific interfaces.

How quickly can we integrate TreasuryAgent?

Most software vendors can integrate TreasuryAgent in days or weeks rather than the months or years typically required to design, build, test, certify, and maintain direct bank connectivity.

Does TreasuryAgent support multiple banks?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent was designed as a multi-bank platform and can automate interactions with multiple financial institutions simultaneously.

What happens if a bank changes its website?

TreasuryAgent communicates with the underlying application technology of the bank's online cash management website rather than its cosmetic presentation layer.

Most website updates involve branding, graphics, colors, or page layout changes and therefore have little or no impact on TreasuryAgent. Significant platform changes are accommodated through updated bank configurations that can be distributed automatically to customer installations.

Is TreasuryAgent just screen scraping?

No.

TreasuryAgent communicates with the underlying application technology of the bank's online cash management website rather than simply reading what appears on the screen. This provides fast, reliable automation while remaining largely unaffected by cosmetic website changes.

How fast is TreasuryAgent?

TreasuryAgent was designed for high-performance unattended banking operations. In many environments, retrieving BAI reports, downloading intraday reporting, and submitting payment files has been demonstrated in as little as seven seconds, including secure logon, processing, retrieval, and logoff.

What security technologies are supported?

TreasuryAgent is designed to work with the security technologies implemented by financial institutions, including HTTPS, digital certificates, software and USB security tokens, encryption, password management, and other authentication methods.

Why do leading Treasury Workstation vendors license TreasuryAgent?

Because their expertise is treasury software—not maintaining bank connectivity.

TreasuryAgent allows software vendors to deliver enterprise-class banking integration without dedicating engineering resources to developing and supporting hundreds of bank-specific interfaces. Their development teams remain focused on building features that differentiate their products while TreasuryAgent manages communication with financial institutions.

Licensed by Industry Leaders

TreasuryAgent is already licensed by three of the industry's largest Treasury Workstation providers, giving software vendors a proven, production-ready bank connectivity platform that can be deployed as a standalone product or embedded directly within their own applications.
