Step 3: Send Inbound Credit Transfer Authorisation Response

Overview

In this step you communicate the outcome of Step 2 to Electrum as an asynchronous response. This means you are initiating a new call to the Electrum API to deliver the authorisation result.

Both positive and negative outcomes of the authorisation are transmitted using the same response format. If the outcome is positive and you are able to successfully receive the inbound payment, then this step will be followed by a completion step to confirm that you may credit the recipient's account. If the outcome is negative and you are unable to receive the payment, then Electrum will relay this to the payment scheme and no further action is required by you.

Implementing the API

Send Outcome

Send an inboundCreditTransferAuthorisationResponse operation (PaymentStatusReport schema) to Electrum's /transactions/inbound/credit-transfer-authorisation-response endpoint.

The outcome of the authorisation is contained in the status field of the payload. If the outcome is negative and the payment cannot be completed, then further information must be provided in the statusReason field.

PaymentStatusReport Schema
messageIdentifiersobject(MessageIdentifiers)required

Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.

messageIdentifiers.​creationDateTimestring(date-time)required

The date and time at which the message was created, in senders local timezone or UTC. The date must be formatted as defined by date-time in RFC3339

messageIdentifiers.​messageIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

A reference used to unambiguously identify the message between the sending and receiving party. Take note that this uniquely identifies a single message in a potentially multi-message exchange to complete a payment.

supplementaryDataobject(SupplementaryData)

A list of key-value pairs to support adding any supplementary/additional data to an Electrum Regulated Payments API message.

originalMessageIdentifiersobject(MessageIdentifiers)required

Holds a point-to-point unique message identification string as well as a message's creation date time.

originalMessageIdentifiers.​creationDateTimestring(date-time)required

The date and time at which the message was created, in senders local timezone or UTC. The date must be formatted as defined by date-time in RFC3339

originalMessageIdentifiers.​messageIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

A reference used to unambiguously identify the message between the sending and receiving party. Take note that this uniquely identifies a single message in a potentially multi-message exchange to complete a payment.

transactionIdentifiersobject(TransactionIdentifiers)required

Holds a series of identifiers to identify the transaction or an individual message that is part of a transaction.

transactionIdentifiers.​endToEndIdentificationstring<= 35 charactersrequired

Unique identification, as assigned by the initiating party, to unambiguously identify the transaction. This identification is passed on, unchanged, throughout the entire end-to-end chain. Note: this is distinct from the UETR.

transactionIdentifiers.​instructionIdentificationstring<= 35 characters

Unique identification, as assigned by an instructing party for an instructed party, to unambiguously identify the instruction. The instruction identification is a point to point reference that can be used between the instructing party and the instructed party to refer to the individual instruction. It can be included in several messages related to the instruction.

transactionIdentifiers.​transactionIdentificationstring<= 35 characters

Unique identification, as assigned by the first instructing agent, to unambiguously identify the transaction that is passed on, unchanged, throughout the entire interbank chain. Usage: The transaction identification can be used for reconciliation, tracking or to link tasks relating to the transaction on the interbank level. Usage: The instructing agent has to make sure that the transaction identification is unique for a pre-agreed period.

transactionIdentifiers.​uetrstring(UUID)required

Universally unique identifier to provide an end-to-end reference of a payment transaction. This identifier remains the same for all messages related to the same transaction.

instructedAgentobject(InstitutionIdentification)
instructingAgentobject(InstitutionIdentification)
statusobject(Status)required
status.​outcomestringrequired
  • APPROVED: The instruction has been approved.
  • CANCELLED: The instruction has been cancelled.
  • PENDING: The instruction is pending.
  • REJECTED: The instruction has been rejected.
Enum"APPROVED""CANCELLED""PENDING""REJECTED"

A list of StatusReasonInfo values providing detailed reason information for the outcome.

originalTransactionDataobject(OriginalTransactionData)

Contains key elements related to the original transaction that is being referred to.

paymentSchemeobject(PaymentStatusReportPaymentScheme)required
