Transfer Funds

With this service, the calling apps can do a transfer to a destination account number from a given source. Authorisation details (for source of funds) will always be required by the provider, apps will have to provide this. OnePipe will in turn forward to the provider’s dedicated implementation. Upon receipt of the auth credentials, a provider may challenge for other input as may be required. Then debit the source of funds to move money to the destination.

Before you proceed: Please read this.

Commercial model

The provider microservice should have it's own way of taking money from the auth details passed in, then execute the transfer to the destination account supplied. Provider needs to send a share of income to the settlement account at the host; which will then be shared with OnePipe, host and ISO.

Special configuration notes

  • OTP override: All providers of this service should implement OTP, but support the configuration of otp_override such that based on this configuration, they could be instructed to bypass the OTP requirement for an app.

  • SMS handler: All providers that need to do OTP validation can use the Send SMS and Send Email services on OnePipe to send their OTP.

Process flows

Sequence of calls

  1. App calls /transact with the right auth details

  2. Provider responds with WaitingForOTP or PendingValidation as may be required

  3. App calls /transact/validate to supply OTP if needed

  4. Provider responds with any of the completion codes Successful or Failed.

  5. To query the status of a transaction, the app can call /transact/query

  6. Where the provider supports it, the app can call /transact/reverse to request a reversal

 

There are two scenarios to this:

Scenario 1: Provider does 2FA on transaction

 

Scenario 2: Provider MS does 2FA on transaction
