Problems we solve

Integrating eGIRO on your own isn’t a weekend project. If you choose to DIY, you will face:

4–6 months onboarding time per bank

Every institution has its own checklist and go‑live windows

Complex onboarding

You must register on the BCS portal (portal.eddanow.sg/edda), submit paperwork, and wait for approval.

UAT & LV testing

Mandatory sandbox and live‑verification cycles take weeks.

Cert management

You handle certificate generation, rotation, and expiry monitoring.

Up to 13 separate APIs

BCS exposes multiple endpoints for authorise, cancel, query, status, recall, and more—each with unique payloads

Acme collapses all of that into a single project run by our experts—so you launch in 4–6 weeks instead of half a year.
