Through thisapplication, business clients could enquire their statements, whether balances, payments and transfers madewere successful or not. Single or batch Payments and transfers could be created. Beneficiaries of the clientscould also be administered from this application. The Authorization functionality existed for a security orsegregation of duties function ensuring that all payments and transfers made were actually not madeseparately but in agreement with other business stakeholders so as to ensure minimum financial business riskand loss.
