API Introduction

One API For Every
Critical Step.

A general overview of our APIs for payment processing, authorisation, identification, signing and IBAN-name verification. The documentation contains everything you need to implement the services quickly or build them yourself in your front-end or back-end.

Payments

Accept payments through a checkout styled in your brand, confirmed in the customer's own banking environment.

Direct Debit Mandates

Collect digital direct debit mandates that customers authorise with their own bank.

Identification

Verify identity, age and address with iDIN in the familiar environment of the customer's bank.

Contract Signing

Let customers sign documents and agreements digitally, fully integrated into your process.

IBAN-Name Check

No user interface needed: a direct check with the banks returns an instant response.

Packages & Plugins

Under Partners, you will find a list of available packages and plugins that are ready to use.

API Messages

From Request To
Status Update.

Here you can find the API messages for payments, direct debit authorisation, identification (iDIN) and signing. The IBAN-name check has no user interface: the API provides a direct database check with banks for an instant response.

The TransactionResponse contains a transaction link to redirect your customer

Here they select their bank and confirm the transaction in their familiar banking environment. The customer then returns and is redirected by us to your website.
