Enrich payment instructions

Using a simple payments API integration, it not only enables validation, it also enhances payment details by automatically adding: 

Payment network routing details

Standard Settlement Instructions (SSIs)

Full bank and counterparty bank details

IBAN and BIC numbers generated from domestic account details

The payments API works in the background to quickly verify customer-entered information against payment and compliance rules. If something isn’t right, such as an IBAN or ACH number, it can alert customers before they hit “send,” preventing delays and failed payment fees.
