Overview

To establish a secure connection between JHA Episys and Sandbox Banking, customers must complete the appropriate setup based on their hosting environment:

  • On-Premise (Self-Hosted Core): VPN Tunnel setup with IT teams.

  • EASE (Hosted by JHA): Connectivity request through JHA.

Once you determine the method of connectivity, Sandbox Banking will coordinate any necessary meetings with our network team to ensure a smooth setup.
