What it does
Sampath Bank's Vishwa Corporate service handles business-account payments, collections and statements in a browser. Companies can separate payment entry from authorization and configure several approval levels. Annual licence charges depend on the number of users.
Set up who can enter and approve payments
Start with the Vishwa Corporate application for your business type. The limited-company form separates Enterers, who view and enter transactions, from Authorizers, who view and approve them. It asks for delegates' identities, user levels and permitted facilities. At least one user from each configured authorization level must approve a request before it goes to the bank.
Available facilities include account enquiries, own-account transfers, salary batches, registered corporate payees, government payments and Mobile Cash. Mobile Cash requires the beneficiary's phone number to be registered.
For repeat supplier or salary payments, saved templates and scheduling reduce repeated entry. Account details and downloadable statements help reconcile what was paid. An ERP connection is also offered for businesses that need payments linked with their internal accounting system.
