B of A Sees fifty one percent Increase in Companies Leveraging A P Is For Real-Time Treasury Needs

NEW YORK, New York, SINGAPORE, and LONDON – The demand for real time data and transaction processing is driving a record number of Bank of America business clients to adopt Application Programming Interfaces (A P Is). Over the last 12 months, Bank of America has seen a fifty one percent increase[1] in clients using A P Is, with growth driven by innovations that have simplified onboarding and accelerated speed to transact.

C F Os face enormous pressure to know their exposure and cash position at any given time,” said Tom Durkin, head of CashPro® in Global Payments Solutions (G P S) at Bank of America.A P Is play a strategic role in positioning companies to act on information quickly, in a fully automated and secure manner.”

The A P Is are available via CashPro, Bank of America’s digital banking platform accessed by 40,000 companies. Additionally, many treasury management systems (T M S) and enterprise resource planning (E R P) providers also host CashPro A P Is. This network of 55 T M S and E R Ps has helped fuel the surge in A P I adoption. In fact, seventy eight percent of clients using CashPro A P Is are doing so through one of the network participants.

Jennifer Jewett, Controller at Jetcraft Corporation, explains the impact of CashPro A P Is on her organization: "As our company has grown globally, it’s no longer practical to manually process and consolidate reports. I need to be able to respond to questions like ‘what’s my cash balance?’ almost immediately. CashPro A P Is is the ideal solution—it’s brought automation to our treasury and increased efficiency for my team."

By making business easier, the CashPro Developer Studio is also driving growth by transforming and dramatically speeding up the A P I onboarding experience. For instance, within one week, clients can go live with current day reporting as well as previous day reporting across all their accounts.

“The turnkey experience we’ve created through the CashPro A P I network and the CashPro Developer Studio has been transformative,” said Maureen Jarvis, head of Business Banking G P S at Bank of America. “Smaller companies are able to get the same strategic benefit of A P Is as their larger peers.”

Examples of how CashPro A P Is are being used around the world for payment transactions include:

  • Nonprofit organizations are sending emergency relief payments to people in need via Zelle, A C H, debit cards and digital wallets.
  • Healthcare and insurance companies are leveraging A P Is to replace checks with Zelle, A C H and R T P transactions, expediting reimbursement payments and residential mortgage transactions.
  • Companies operating in Brazil are using A P Is to process 600,000 Boletos every month.
  • A chain of convenience stores and truck stops has automated payments to their drivers, replacing paper checks with instant payments made via Zelle upon notice of delivery of goods.
  • Companies in Europe are leveraging A P Is for S E P A Instant Credit Transfers to make same day payments.
