Prerequisites

API Access

The nrich API uses HTTP Basic Authentication with two credentials:

Client ID (username) and
Client Secret (password)

Each set of credentials is associated with specific access scopes that define your permissions on the nrich platform. Contact us to obtain your dedicated credentials.

Postman Collections

We recommend downloading our Postman Collections to simplify your integration through our pre-configured API requests, allowing you to test endpoints instantly without any manual setup.

Getting Started

Overview

The Payment Initiation product enables you to integrate real-time access to an end user's bank account for fast, secure payment initiation.

Present your users with a way to initiate a bank transfer, specifically Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Credit Transfers within the EU. This provides an alternative to conventional online payments through credit or debit cards. Our Payment Initiation product comes with two primary capabilities tailored to different use cases:

One-time Payments: A single access payment model where the user's payment account is reached through the PSD2 API, with each transfer contingent on the end user's explicit consent and authentication.
Ongoing Payments: This model facilitates the storage of creditor details and user account credentials, meaning end users only need to authorize their payment with a TAN for subsequent payments from their bank accounts. This substantially reduces the steps involved for the user. Please note that this should not be confused with standing orders, which are currently outside our service scope.
