Available Transports
SFTP
SFTP is a widely accepted protocol, and is recommended if you will be sending high volumes of transactions in one request
In terms of setup, it is your organization's responsibility to install the protocol on your Server / AS400 / Mainframe. In addition, you will be required to provide us with your SFTP details for test and production environment if you are connecting on your own account.
If you are connecting on your own account, your system is required to send and fetch responses from the Bank. Our channel does not send responses to or fetch requests from your environment.
