Would you like to send Ebury your payment instructions directly from your ERP or TMS? Would you like Ebury to automatically push your end-of-day bank statement to your ERP or TMS for reconciliation purposes? But you don’t see your ERP/TMS in our connectivity list?

We recommend you to explore connectivity to Ebury via SFTP. We have successfully implemented SFTP-based communication with SAP, Coupa, Kyriba and many others.

What is SFTP

A Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a safe network channel to send and receive large volumes of information. With SFTP, you can securely and directly send payment instructions that the ERP generates to Ebury and receive statements from Ebury.

Benefits of using SFTP with Ebury

Efficient

Automate payables and receivables reconciliation into your existing ERP by uploading already ready-to-use statements and save time and hassle with data entry.
