Why choose Baran Adapter Channel

Integrate once

A channel is built against one API instead of a separate integration for every bank.

Channels stay simple

Your app or terminal sends a request. Processing, ISO 8583 messaging and the national switch are handled behind the API.

Add channels later

Start with one channel and add ATM, POS or mobile on the same integration.
