Supported Grand Central endpoints

The OBPM Connector supports the following operations from the Grand Central Unified API v1: The OBPM Connector supports the following operations from the Grand Central Unified API v2: For Unified API v2, fetchFees returns fee amount and currency in the customer’s debit-account currency. That amount is what the bank actually debits, not the OBPM internal pricing currency.
To receive status updates on initiated payments, recurring payment schedules, future-dated payments, and off-channel payments from the payments core, the OBPM payment inbound Connector listens to dedicated JMS queues. For more information, see Get started. The payee contact sync feature validates the incoming JSON payload against the unified spec schema, routes domestic and international payees based on obpm.contact.sync.domesticCountryCode, and performs XSLT transformation to convert the request into the XML format expected by OBPM.
