February 2022

Quick payments and many more updates this month. 😊.

🎉 New

Added a bank statuses endpoint so you can confirm bank status before making a call.
We created an endpoint to enable canceling a payment before the request is sent to the bank. If the payment is completed already when a client tries to cancel it, the endpoint will trigger a refund instead.
Quick payments
We launched a simplified widget experience for payments to minimize the number of steps the user has to go through to make a payment. With this configuration, returning users will not have to go through the entire widget flow anymore, they simply go through a verification or MFA screen before instantly processing the transaction.
Open widget to a specific bank
We streamlined the widget flow for use cases where you already know which bank account the end-user has and want to send them directly to that bank login on the widget rather than letting them choose from the list of banks. This direct-to-bank behavior will save the user some screens and ensure they connect to the intended account.

Not a week goes by where we don't find a typo we needed to fix - and this fortnight wasn't any different!

Added link IDs to reports so you can differentiate and have better visibility for tracking.
Improved Suntrust bank availability.
Refactored TIN and RC verification for scalability
Refactored Access Bank web authentication for web banking.
Improved results for income on accounts with limited transactions.
Improvements on callback endpoint to get balance. Removing the ‘null’ errors.
