Intelligent Cash Management
North American businesses can leverage the use of Bank Feeds SuiteApp, which lets them connect their bank and credit card accounts. Transactions and account balances can be automatically imported from financial institutions into NetSuite using Bank Feeds SuiteApp. For businesses who wishes to create their own customization to import financial transactions, NetSuite has introduced the Bank Connectivity API.
