Electrum Regulated Payments API (21.0.2)

The Electrum Regulated Payments API is an asynchronous API that allows partners to participate in various nationally regulated payment schemes.

This document describes the operations exposed by Electrum for partners to consume in order to initiate outbound or respond to inbound payments.

As the Regulated Payments API is asynchronous, partners have a choice of how to integrate with Electrum:

  • Webhooks: Electrum will send events to the partner containing inbound payments to action, or responses to outbound payment requests. Webhooks are defined in this document.
  • Partner API: Electrum will call operations exposed by the partner containing inbound payments to action, or responses to outbound payment requests. The operations are defined in the Electrum Regulated Payments Partner API.

Receiving transactional events via webhooks or API are equivalent, except that it may be more familiar or convenient to implement one style or the other. Partners may request the method of communication Electrum should use when selecting which payment schemes to participate in.

PaymentStatusReport

An extension of BaseTransactionMessage which includes additional information pertinent to an asynchronous response message. In particular, original message identifiers.

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.

status.​reasonInfoArray of objects(StatusReasonInfo)non-empty

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

mandateInformationobject(MandateInformation)

Provides details of the direct debit mandate signed between the creditor and the debtor.

NOTE: This model is a work in progress and may change. In particular, it lacks properties relating to mandate amendments which we may need in the future. Note also that this model is not relevant to the ZA_EFT scheme, and therefore Electrum will not do any special processing for these fields for EFT (e.g. Electrum cannot honour tracking days for EFT payments).

originalTransactionDataobject(OriginalTransactionData)

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

paymentSchemeobject(PaymentStatusReportPaymentScheme)required

Designates which scheme a payment status report is associated with and describes scheme-specific information for the payment status report.
