GRESHAM LAUNCHES CLARETI CONNECT MOBILE BANKING FOR CORPORATES
LONDON – 02 May, 2007– Gresham Computing plc, the real-time financial solutions specialist, today announced the extension of its Clareti Connect mobile banking solution to corporate customers. The new module enables banks to securely deliver account data in real-time directly to their corporate customers’ mobile devices. In addition to creating a new channel for banks to service their clients, the solution also offers real-time payment alerts to help corporate treasuries manage their cash flow positions.
Unlike other mobile banking offerings that utilise NFC, SMS or WAP pages, Gresham has created a dedicated application designed specifically for mobile devices. The secure application enables banks to provide corporate customers with a feature rich mobile banking service. Customers can set real-time alerts to be notified when large payments are received into their accounts or for deadlines on amounts payable. Alerts can also be set for when a payment leaves a corporate’s system or arrives at their counterparty.
By providing real-time account information to corporate customers’ mobile devices, Clareti Connect mobile banking provides treasury departments with a timely and accurate view of their cash positions. Payments or even files of payments can now be securely approved, critical payments searched and account balances monitored while working away from the office. Hyperlinks to the bank’s cash management products also make it possible to view global cash positions.
In addition, real-time alerts about transactions on corporate accounts help to protect companies from employee misuse of corporate banking facilities. Suspicious transactions can be detected early and prompt action taken to substantially reduce the losses a firm incurs.
“Having a real-time view of accounts receivable and payable wherever you are in the world makes you a much stronger player in the capital markets. This is why large corporates in particular are starting to demand mobile-delivery of payments information,” explains Rob Glenn, group sales and marketing director of Gresham Computing. “If you can send an electronic message from one side of the world to the other in an instant, corporates are realising there is no reason why their bank cannot keep them informed, wherever they are in the world. Armed with this information anywhere, anytime, a company can significantly increase its earning potential.”
The mobile banking functionality is a feature of Gresham’s Clareti Connect solution. Banks also have the option to tailor this solution to ensure they offer their customers a mobile banking service that is consistent with their strategy.
Gresham’s Clareti Connect is an enterprise solution for data delivery that can be integrated with the bank’s current e-banking initiatives and payments capabilities to support alerting, collaborative working tools, secure instant messaging, and Voice over IP to distribute real-time information to core business applications. By bringing together the right people with the right information, within a structured and integrated communications environment, Clareti Connect substantially increases the speed and ease with which businesses can execute collaborative business processes.
