ICICI Bank Trade API Suite
Most firms today want to establish a unique competitive advantage by achieving an integrated supply chain. ICICI Bank has developed future-ready solutions to help the clients achieve this by entirely reforming the traditional human interaction to system-based interaction that happens in the course of business. ICICI Bank introduces Trade APIs to make trade transactions seamless by establishing a direct communication channel linking the client’s ERP and ICICI Bank’s internal systems. We help clients save time by bringing down the transaction initiation time from 10-15 minutes to a few seconds!
