the Net.

An innovative offering is the in-house developed 'Webpay' for corporate

customers to transfer funds to their business partners, employee accounts, etc

by a single file upload.

It offers distinctive facilities like auto reversal, multiple authorizations

across geographic boundaries, host to host linkages as well as comprehensive

enquiries/reports. Through this Internet Banking platform, the bank also

provides online bill payment and online shopping facilities. Customers can also

transfer their funds for online trading. This is made possible through a robust;

highly parametrisable internally developed Kotak Bank Secured External Gateway.
