Integrations and automation
Connect iBanFirst to your finance stack to eliminate fragmented systems and unlock automation across your accounts payable process. The result? Faster workflows, less busywork, and fewer errors.
Connect iBanFirst with your finance systems
iBanFirst connects to your accounting software, internal tools, or other banks via iBanFirst API, SFTP, EBICS, Isabel 6, or SwiftNet, plugging into your existing workflows to streamline payments, FX, reconciliation and more.
Rely on synced, centralised data
See cash positions and payment statuses at a glance, right from the tools you already use. Everything stays synced, so your team closes faster and makes decisions based on real-time numbers.
Reduce manual work
Cut out manual payment prep and spreadsheet stitching, so your team spends less time processing and reconciling payments and more time moving the business forward.
Avoid costly payment errors
Fewer manual steps means fewer mistakes. Automation helps prevent wrong payment details, currency mismatches and supplier payment delays.
Accounts payable, upgraded
Power up your accounts payable process with integrations and automation where it matters most.
Accelerate reconciliation
Speed up your month-end close. Automatically pull balances and transactions from your iBanFirst accounts to reconcile incoming and outgoing processed payments. Whether you need monthly statements or tailored extracts, connect via iBanFirst API, EBICS, Isabel 6, or SwiftNet.
Automate payments
Forward invoices, let iBanPay handle the rest. Your AI-powered payment assistant captures invoice data and creates payment drafts instantly. For full automation, use our API to make bulk payments directly from your accounting software. Subsidiaries in France, Germany, or Belgium? EBICS and Isabel 6 are fully supported too.
Automate beneficiary creation
Say goodbye to manual beneficiary entry. Upload payees in bulk in CSV, fully automate with iBanAPI, or use EBICS & Isabel 6 to draft payments and create beneficiaries automatically. Faster setup. Fewer errors. Fewer rejected payments.

How long does it take to set up iBanFirst integrations, and do I need a developer?
How long it takes you to set up integrations and whether or not you need a developer depends on the integration method and your technical expertise:
- Powens (PSD2): Quick setup that finance teams can typically handle themselves.
- EBICS: Typically taking less than an hour, this method may require integrator expertise. iBanFirst can help to guide you through the setup process.
- Custom API: Depending on what you're looking to do, this method may take you a few days. As the most technical method, you'll likely require developer resources. For more specific technical requirements, it's best to contact iBanFirst.
