Port X

The “Port X” panel simplifies integrating your Sharpen contact center or IVR with any banking core, tailored primarily for credit unions, banks, and other financial institutions. This all-in-one integration hub offers straightforward access to banking systems, enhancing operational efficiency. The Port X panel includes dropdown options for easy configuration, streamlining the setup of your banking core integration.

Using this panel

The Port X panel is intended to greatly reduce the amount of time that it takes to set up an integration to our customer’s banking core. Generally, when integrating to a banking core, there is a long period of application development required to build out the connection between Sharpen and the customer’s banking core. Port X has already done the footwork to build the connection to the banking core, and offer a standard API for Sharpen to use. This greatly reduces the amount of time required, and the complexity of the integration.
