Vendor IBAN changes: how dual validation between Sage Intacct and Arkaio stops fraud before a single transfer reaches the bank.
Nicolas Lambert joined Global Gestion in Geneva as a developer in 2012. Since then, his career has brought together technology, business management and Sage solutions. Today he is Managing Director of Global Gestion and Marcea Suisse. He has worked on the practical problems companies face: changing business management systems, Sage Intacct integration, accounting process automation and connections to banking systems. Arkaio grew out of this work. He founded it to bring accounting and banking closer together and to simplify the management of financial flows. Nicolas defines its technical architecture, particularly around EBICS, ISO 20022 and Open Banking, with close attention to security. On this blog, he writes about the technical and business issues behind payments, bank integrations and financial automation.
