Get payout information

To utilize this endpoint, you will need to replace transferID with the specific transfer's unique identifier. The transfer endpoint will return the details of the transfer, including the processorName, deliveryMode, bankingPartnerReference, bankingPartnerName, and mt103. This information will enable your recipients to track the transfer with their bank. It may take up to 3 days to get the correct information through this endpoint, as some partners don't share the information until 3 days later.

Creating the Custom Transfer Receipt

Once you have fetched the transfer details and banking partner details, you can combine the information to create a custom transfer receipt. The custom transfer receipt should include the following information:

  • Sender details (name and account number)
  • Recipient details (name and account number)
  • Amount transferred
  • Currency
  • Status of the transfer
  • Date and time of transfer creation
  • Processor name
  • Delivery mode
  • Banking partner reference
  • Banking partner name
  • MT103

With this information, you can format the transfer receipt in a manner that suits your needs and preferences. You can create a PDF, HTML, or plain text receipt, and share it with your customers via email or other communication channels.
