This article helps you to choose between sharing your signature certificates between your banks or keep one certificate per bank ✨

When you activate more than one Ebics contract within Agicap Payment, you are given two options :

  • 1️⃣ Generate a new certificate

This option is safer as you will have one certificate for each bank. If you lose access to one certificate, it won't impact other banks.

  • 2️⃣ Import an existing certificate
    This option allows you to pay from all your banks in one click in Agicap since they share the same certificate. Payment execution is more efficient.

Deciding between the two options has impacts on the efficiency of payment execution, the level of security applied to your contracts and the impact of losing your certificate.

⚠️ The only way to change the chosen option after you have made your choice, is to revoke your certificates with your bank and activate your contract again : choose carefully !

Here is a chart to summarize the strengths of each method 👇
