To date, there is no concrete timetable for the changeover. This applies both to a minimum duration for the MBS technique and to a mandatory start date for EBICS.

However, it is already certain that the new EBICS specification will be used in version 3.0.

Regardless of the detailed requirements that are still outstanding, many Austrian credit institutions are currently preparing the new connection for corporate customers — or have already completed it.

For customers of the Austrian savings banks, for example, the connection via EBICS has
already been available since summer 2019.

The proven BL Banking Server from Business-Logics supports all EBICS versions and implements a wide range of national and international payment formats.

Thanks to the modular architecture and the generally open interfaces, the system is ideally suited for all banks in Austria for connecting corporate customers.

The manufacturer also offers first-class support in terms of service: from software introduction to employee training, all areas are taken care of for smooth operation.

In particular, banks can count on the support of Business-Logics when migrating existing data and smoothly integrating the server into the existing IT landscape.

In combination with the fair license model, the server of the Hilden-based software house represents a perfect solution for the entry into EBICS.
