New On-Demand Service Includes Investigation Capabilities that Improve Ease of Doing Business

NEW YORK, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to finding, analyzing and acting on their company's financial information, corporate finance departments, treasurers and CFOs expect the same ease and convenience they enjoy while managing their personal finances. That's why today, Bank of America is unveiling a powerful transaction search engine with integrated investigation capabilities on CashPro.

CashPro is the banking platform used by 40,000 companies around the world to manage and monitor their payments, deposits, loans and trade finance transactions. The new capabilities were developed with feedback from Bank of America's clients and are the latest updates to CashPro Data Intelligence, a suite of tools that companies can use to gain insights on their treasury operations and processes.

"CashPro Search is a major time saver for our clients who've used it 7 million times since it was initially deployed," said Christian Stolcke, head of Financial Institutions, NBFIs and Governments in Global Payments Solutions (GPS) at Bank of America. "Within seconds, the tool searches across multiple accounts and applications to find a business transaction."

In addition to speed, the search engine delivers full visibility into a company's transactions, providing details such as a payment status, incoming and outgoing messages, Swift GPI tracking details and images.

Search with Investigation Capabilities
From CashPro Search, clients can now launch an inquiry into a transaction – an extremely common task in banking – to validate the status or details of a payment, which could include domestic or international wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) Payments, Real-Time Payments, and even incoming FX credit transactions or loan proceeds1.

The data captured from the transaction inquiry is automatically routed to the service team. Clients can track the progress of the resolution and get real-time status updates and even view correspondence from a beneficiary's bank.

"Win-win may be an overused phrase but it's the perfect way to describe the benefits of CashPro Search with Investigations," said Abbey Novack, CashPro Product Executive in GPS at Bank of America. "We've significantly streamlined service requests, so that rather than picking up the phone or having to send an email, a client can directly initiate and track their request within CashPro."
