Financial transactions involve the transfer of monetary value between individuals, businesses, or institutions through various methods such as digital payments, card payments, bank transfers, or mobile wallets. This surge in transactions is largely attributed to the widespread adoption of digital payments, which offer faster and more convenient alternatives to cash for both consumers and businesses. Financial process automation helps streamline these transactions by minimizing manual involvement, ensuring quicker processing, greater accuracy, and improved compliance throughout payment workflows.
