Electrum Regulated Payments Partner API (26.1.1)

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

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 the Electrum Regulated Payments Partner API.
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 this document.

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.

This document describes the operations a partner must implement for Electrum to consume in order to complete the integration with the Electrum Regulated Payments API.

Schema

AccountLookupResponse

accountobject(Account)required

An account within the Electrum Account mirror. Note that the primaryIdentification is permanent and immutable.

account.accountNamestring<= 70 characters

account.additionalIdentificationsArray of objects(AccountIdentification)

account.currencystring(CurrencyCode)^[A-Z]{3}$

A valid, active currency code as defined in ISO 4217 indicating the currency of the amount.

account.openingDatestring(date-time)

Date and time at which the account was established.

account.primaryIdentificationobject(AccountIdentification)required

Holds details pertaining to an identifier of an account or store of value.

account.primaryIdentification.accountKnownAsstring<= 40 characters

A name or label of the account.

account.primaryIdentification.identifierobject(AccountIdentifier)required

account.primaryIdentification.identifier.namespacestring[ 1 .. 40 ] characters

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

account.primaryIdentification.identifier.schemastringrequired

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

Discriminator

account.primaryIdentification.identifier.valuestring[ 1 .. 2048 ] charactersrequired

account.primaryIdentification.registeredSchemesArray of strings(PaymentSchemeName)

The list of schemes with which the identifier is registered.
