How it works
1. Create a payment or standing order
Post the payment details to the API and it will return an initiation link.
2. User authorises payment
The user clicks on the payment link, selects a bank and is redirected to their Bank app where they select a bank account, see the balance and authorise the payment.
3. User initiates the payment
The user is redirected back from the bank and the payment is initiated. Users will be prompted to approve any fees incurred before this happens.
4. Payment confirmation
The platform tracks the payment's progress and posts updates as it completes.
