<h1>EBICS banking protocol</h1>
<p>Implementation of the EBICS banking protocol.</p>
<p>This module facilitates the exchange of files with banks via the EBICS protocol.</p>
<p><strong>Exchange files directly with your banks from Odoo, with no portal and nobody logging in.</strong></p>
<p>EBICS, the Electronic Banking Internet Communication Standard, is the channel European
banks open to companies that want their software to talk to the bank. Bank statements are
downloaded on a schedule and payment files are uploaded from Odoo, authenticated by your
own cryptographic keys instead of a login page.</p>
<p>This module implements that protocol in Odoo. It has been developed and maintained by
Noviat since 2015, on every major version of Odoo from 8.0 onwards.</p>
<p>If you are still working out whether EBICS is the right channel for you, we explain it
without the jargon, with screen recordings of the flow in Odoo, on
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.noviat.com/ebics">noviat.com/ebics</a>.</p>

<div class="section" id="what-you-get">
<h2>What you get</h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>Statements that arrive on their own.</strong> A scheduled task collects the files your bank
publishes, for every account, and processes them into bank statements.</li>
<li><strong>Payments that leave the same way.</strong> A payment batch or a payment order is uploaded to
the bank in the format the bank expects, without exporting a file and re-uploading it
somewhere else.</li>
<li><strong>A test mode.</strong> Uploads can be validated against the bank before anything counts as a
real payment.</li>
<li><strong>Distributed signature (EDS).</strong> More than one person can be required to approve a
payment, from an external signing application. Odoo holds no signing credentials.</li>
<li><strong>A trace of every exchange.</strong> Each download and each upload is a record, with the file
it carried, the moment it happened and the user behind it.</li>
</ul>
<p>Both <strong>EBICS 2.5</strong> and <strong>EBICS 3.0</strong> are supported.</p>

<h2>Which banks</h2>
<p>Any bank that publishes an EBICS access point can be connected. The standard is owned by
EBICS SC, a company held by the German, French, Swiss and Austrian banking bodies
(DK, CFONB, SIX and PSA), and it is the ordinary corporate channel in those countries.</p>
<p>To check a specific bank before you start, joonis publishes a public directory at
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.joonis.de/en/fintech/banks/">joonis.de/en/fintech/banks</a>. Enter a BIC and it
returns the SEPA services the bank offers, the EBICS versions it supports and its Host-ID.
Use the BIC rather than the IBAN: IBAN lookup is only evaluated for Germany, Austria and
Switzerland.</p>

<div class="section" id="what-it-costs">
<h2>What it costs</h2>
<p><strong>This module is free software</strong>, published under LGPL-3. There is no licence fee, no
subscription and no per-connection charge from Noviat.</p>
<p>It does however rely on the <a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fintech">fintech</a> library from
joonis, and that library requires a <strong>commercial licence for production use</strong>: as soon as
you upload SEPA files with more than five transactions, retrieve statements older than the
last three days, or use the distributed signature. The licence is contracted directly with
joonis, not with Noviat.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, joonis charges a one-off setup fee plus a monthly fee per EBICS
user id. Current pricing is published on
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.joonis.de/en/fintech/prices/">joonis.de</a>.</p>
<p>We prefer to state this up front rather than have you discover it during the project.</p>

<h2>Getting your bank online</h2>
<p>The technical configuration in Odoo takes hours. What sets the pace of a project is the
bank: your keys are registered with the INI and HIA order types, both of which produce
initialisation letters that have to be printed, signed and sent to the bank. Once the bank
has activated the access you retrieve its public keys with HPB and compare the hash values
with the letter it sent you.</p>
<p>Count in weeks per bank rather than days, and start the paperwork early.</p>
