API Reference

Payee Account Check - only in Sandbox

Requests

You can choose to perform this check before entering a payment instruction. The Payee account check is performed to make sure the payment is not rejected due to mismatch in IBAN Name combination.

The POST Status requests must contain a digital signature. You can generate this digital signature using the private key of your certificate. For the Sandbox environment, you can use an example certificate available in the Signing documentation.

You can verify the payee account check information by sending a POST request to the following endpoint:

POST https://api-sandbox.rabobank.nl/openapi/sandbox/spv/payments/single-payee-verification
