Electrum Regulated Payments Events API (26.1.1)

The Electrum Regulated Payments Events API is a synchronous API that describes the events emitted by the Electrum Regulated Payments platform during the course of transaction processing.

This document describes the single endpoint that you will need to implement in order to receive event notifications posted by Electrum.

As transactions are processed by Electrum, events are emitted to provide information about the status of the transactions and the operations preformed on them. These events do not affect processing, but provide information that can be used for operational support and monitoring purposes.

All events are posted to the same single URL. Event are differentiated by a unique descriptor contained in the name field of the message body. This descriptor serves to allow the receiver to determine whether the particular event is of interest.

state

Transactions transition through different states. As each state is entered, an event is emitted. This event provides information about the state entered by the transaction. Included in this information is the message payload of the operation that triggered the state transition in the Electrum Regulated Payments. Note: The message payload attached to an event might be an internally-triggered message and not the message sent to or received from the Electrum Regulated Payments API.

schemeRegistrationOutcome.proxyobject(NonBankingIdentifier)required

An identifier's namespace provides a context for the identifier to distinguish different identifiers which may have the same value but be intended to identify different accounts. For example, a bank may use the same MSISDN (identifier) with different namespaces to distinguish between a customer's cheque or savings accounts.

This may be used by the following schemes:

ZA_RPP

schemeRegistrationOutcome.proxy.schemastringrequired

Indicates the schema of the identifier, e.g. MOBILE, CUSTOM.

ZaAcPaymentReturnPaymentSchemeData

Scheme-specific data for Authenticated Collections (DebiCheck) payment returns.

returnTypestringrequired

Identifies the type of Authenticated Collections payment return (pacs.004).

DISPUTE: Occurs when a Payer (debtor) successfully disputes a processed Authenticated Collections debit instruction at their bank. Under AC clearing rules, a dispute action is strictly limited to a small set of valid reasons. Two such cases are: the collection amount was incorrect (ReturnReasonTypeCode AM02 - 'not allowed amount') or the collection date was incorrect (ReturnReasonTypeCode DT01 - 'invalid date'). The Debtor Bank initiates this payment return to reverse the funds from the Creditor.
SYSTEM_ERROR_CORRECTION_REQUEST: Represents a payment return that is generated as the successful financial resolution of a System Error Correction (Bank Error) process. In this scenario, the Creditor Bank (after obtaining mandatory industry/PASA authorisation) previously submitted a cancellation request due to a technical issue, such as an erroneously duplicated debit batch. This payment return is the subsequent financial reversal initiated by the Debtor Bank to recover the erroneously collected funds from the Creditor in order to refund the debtor.

Enum"DISPUTE""SYSTEM_ERROR_CORRECTION_REQUEST"

userReferencestring<= 30 characters^[\u0020-\u007A]*$

A reference for the payment return that will appear on statements. This is mapped to the RmtInf/Ustrd field. Allowed characters are limited to printable ASCII (space through 'z').
