Updated the company registration number to optional​

You can now onboard sole traders who do not have a company registration number. The company.registrationNumber parameter can now be left empty.

Note, that for other company types, the registration number is still required to complete the KYB process.

Affected APIs:

  • GET /corporates
  • POST /corporates
  • PATCH /corporates

New sender name information in the deposit webhook​

The account deposit webhook now includes new senderName field as part of the deposit information.

Affected webhooks:

  • POST /managed_accounts/deposits/watch

New cancelled type for card authorisations​

Card authorisations are cancelled if an approve or reject decision is not received by the provider in the agreed time. This ensures that no authorisations are wrongly approved.

If a card authorisation is cancelled by the provider, you will receive a card authorisation webhook notification having the authorisationType field set as CANCELLED. Cancelled card authorisations are now included in the card statement API endpoint with their entry.transactionId.type being AUTHORISATION_CANCELLATION.

Affected webhooks:

  • POST /managed_cards/authorisations/watch

Affected APIs:

  • GET /managed_cards/{id}/statement

New Pending state for deposit, transfer and send transactions​

In most cases, transactions are executed instantly, however there are cases where a transaction needs to be temporarily paused. This may be due to different reasons, ranging from asynchronous processes to transaction monitoring.

If a deposit, transfer or send transaction is in a pending state, its transaction state will be marked as PENDING and will resume automatically as soon as all requirements are met.

Affected APIs:

  • GET /transfers
  • GET /transfers/{id}
  • POST /transfers
  • GET /sends
  • GET /sends/{id}
  • POST /sends

Additional transaction information in the managed account and managed card statement​

The following fields are now available in the the managed account and managed card statement:

  • actualBalanceAfter
  • actualBalanceAdjustment
  • availableBalanceAfter
  • availableBalanceAdjustment
  • entryState

Instrument balances are represented using both an actual and an available balance. The actual balance shows how much funds actually reside on the instrument, while the available balance shows how much funds are available to be used. If there are no pending transactions on the instrument, the available and actual balance should be equal. Transaction entries returned in the statement APIs are reporting a balance change in one or both balances.

Note that the balanceAfter field is now deprecated in favor of the availableBalanceAfter.

The new transaction entryState field indicates whether a transaction has moved into a PENDING or COMPLETED state. When a transaction is in a PENDING state, this means that some fund movements have completed however additional fund movements are still pending. Once a transaction is moved to a COMPLETED state, this means that all expected fund movements are now complete.

Affected APIs:

  • GET /managed_cards/{id}/statement
  • GET /managed_accounts/{id}/statement

Detailed consumer due diligence status information​

You can now download the due diligence screening report of a consumer from the Multi Portal. In the report, you will find detailed information on the status of the due diligence process and any reasons for which the identity hasn't been approved yet.

New sender name field with deposit transactions​

In the deposit transaction details screen in the Multi portal, you can now see the sender of deposit transactions received on your customers' managed accounts.

More flexible end-customer send transaction fees​

Send transactions can transfer funds between cards and managed accounts. You can now charge a different fee, based on the source and destination instrument types involved in the transaction.

End-customer fees can be configured in the Multi portal.

More fine grained forex fee options​

When configuring your end-customer forex fees in the Multi portal, you can now choose from increments of 0.25%.

Please note that forex fees are attached to a card when it is being created, so if you change the fee afterwards, the new rate will only apply for newly created cards.

Additional due diligence failure details in webhooks​

A new rejectionComment field has been added in the consumer and corporate due diligence webhooks to include a detailed description as to why due diligence has been temporarily rejected. This information should be used together with the failureReason field to provide more information to the user.
