API Integration for Automating Payments, Underwriting, and Orchestrating New Banking Process Workflows

Overview

API integration can help automate Payment Backoffice tasks involving underwriting, collateral management, credit checks, and various other processes. It requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure the bank’s workflow orchestration is efficient, secure, and compliant.

At Sun Technologies, our API integration experts use a proven checklist to manage critical aspects of API development that includes – Error Handling, Data Validation, Performance and Scalability, Transaction Processing, Webhooks and Notifications, Monitoring and Logging, Integration with Payment Gateways, Testing, Backup and Disaster Recovery, Legal, and Compliance.

By considering these aspects, our developers are creating robust, secure, and efficient interfaces that streamline payment processes and enhance the overall user experience.

Payment Process that is Now Automated: Powered by No-Code API Integration

 Initiate Payment:

Back-office system sends a POST request to /payments API with payment details.

API validates the request, processes the payment, and returns a response with payment status and transaction ID.

Check Payment Status:

Back-office system periodically checks the payment status using GET /payments/{id}.

API returns the current status of the payment (pending, completed, failed).

Refund Process:

If needed, the back-office system initiates a refund by sending a POST request to /payments/{id}/refunds.

API processes the refund and updates the payment status accordingly.

Transaction History:

To reconcile payments, the back-office system retrieves transaction history using GET /transactions.

API returns a list of transactions with details like amount, date, status, etc.

Automated Reporting:

The back-office system exports transaction data from the API in CSV format for reporting.

API supports filtering by date range and other parameters to generate specific reports.
