Integration with bank transaction feeds

Purpose

1. To automate secure, real-time integration of corporate bank transaction data into core financial systems for streamlined reconciliation, cash flow management, compliance, and audit readiness.

2. Enables automated extraction, normalization, and categorization of all banking transactions (credits, debits, fees, transfers) directly from authorized bank feeds, minimizing manual entry and errors, ensuring compliance for regulated alcoholic beverage manufacturers.

Trigger Conditions

1. New transaction posted to a specified business bank account (inbound or outbound).

2. Scheduled cron intervals (e.g., hourly, daily) to fetch updated transaction feeds.

3. Manual or event-driven (e.g., payment approval, invoice issued) fetch requests.
