Transfer money at any time of any day within  seconds with real-time payments feature

The European Commission adopted a legislative proposal to make instant payments in euro, available to all citizens and businesses holding a bank account in the EU and in EEA countries.

The real-time payment feature enables insurers to be compliant with that upcoming legal requirement. The feature is available since FS-CD Enhancement Package 7 (SP08) for SAP ERP 6.0 and tested and proven. Our customers use FS-CD to process incoming and outgoing instant payments with various payment methods, like Pix in Brazil.
