Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA)

The Federal Employment Agency (BA) is a key player in the German labor market. Its workload includes the monthly transmission of approximately 18 million transactions totaling €9 billion. These monthly transactions serve to pay out unemployment benefits and child benefits to 9 million German citizens. Using Axway solutions, BA became the first major corporation in Germany to meet the Federal Reserve’s deadline of January 2, 2011 for EBICS implementation (EBICS has been designated as the multi-bank, Internet-based standard for the German banking industry).
