2026.02 - Grand Central Documentation

Features

The following feature updates are available in 2026.02 for Grand Central Connectors:

Product group	Software component	Version	Title	Description
Tietoevry	`gc-tieto-evry-card-authorization-connector`	1.0.3	Added new API for card eligibility lookup	The gc-tieto-evry-card-authorization-connector supports card wallet eligibility lookup by `cardID` and `cardIDVNo` (`GET /card/{cardID}/{cardIDVNo}`), in addition to the existing `partyId`-based lookup. This enables digital wallet eligibility checks for a specific card without requiring a `partyId`, providing more flexible card eligibility queries from digital banking apps.
Payments	`gc-obpm-batch-payment-inbound-connector`	1.0.2	Added separate Azure Service Bus configuration for payment and batch status updates	The gc-obpm-batch-payment-inbound-connector uses separate configurable Azure Service Bus property prefixes for payment status updates (`asb.payment.`) and batch status updates (`asb.batch.`), replacing the previous shared `asb.*` configuration. You can independently configure event source, event type, and event version for each message channel.
Payments	`gc-obpm-batch-payment-inbound-connector`	1.0.2	Added configurable limit for the number of files processed per polling cycle	The gc-obpm-batch-payment-inbound-connector supports a configurable limit on the number of Azure Blob Storage files processed per polling cycle. You can enable or disable this limit using the `obpm.inbound.blob.poller.limit-enabled` property (defaults to `true`), preventing overload when large batches of inbound payment files accumulate in storage.
Oracle FLEXCUBE	`gc-flexcube-payment-connector`	1.5.1	Added AIPS recurring payment template creation for DPH and TCS payment types	The connector now supports recurring payment setup for AIPS payment types by creating templates through a dedicated OBPM custom API flow. AIPS_EUR network codes are mapped to TCS and AIPS_ALL to DPH. Configuration properties control template generation settings such as `saveAsTemplate`, `versionNo`, and `debtorAccountBranch`. This lets bank customers set up DPH and TCS standing instructions that are correctly routed through the appropriate OBPM template API.
Fiserv DNA	`gc-fiservdna-loan-connector`	1.1.1	Added configurable major and minor product code mapping	You can now configure how the connector maps Fiserv DNA Major Product Code and Minor Product Code values to Backbase product kinds through application properties. By default, the mapping uses the Major Product Code only. When a single Major Product Code maps to multiple product kinds, you can add the Minor Product Code to the mapping configuration to distinguish them. This lets banks with non-standard core configurations, such as a shared Major Product Code across loans and credit cards, map products correctly without custom code.
Fiserv DNA	`gc-fiservdna-deposit-connector`	1.0.13	Added configurable major and minor product code mapping	You can now configure how the connector maps Fiserv DNA Major Product Code and Minor Product Code values to Backbase product kinds through application properties. By default, the mapping uses the Major Product Code only. When a single Major Product Code maps to multiple product kinds, you can add the Minor Product Code to the mapping configuration to distinguish them. This lets banks with non-standard core configurations, such as a shared Major Product Code across loans and credit cards, map products correctly without custom code.
Oracle FLEXCUBE	`gc-flexcube-party-connector`	2.3.0	Added configurable phone number country code restriction list	You can now configure a list of restricted phone number country calling codes through application configuration. When a customer attempts to update their phone number with a calling code that matches a restricted entry, the connector rejects the request with an HTTP 422 response and a configurable error message. This lets banks enforce sanctions compliance and regional business restrictions without custom code, by managing the restriction list through operational configuration.
Salt Edge	`gc-saltedge-servicing-consent-ob-connector`	1.4.1	Improved the delete feature to include scheme `{ob (Open Banking) or bg (Berlin Group)}` and type `{ais, pis, cbpii}` filters for SE OB Connector	This feature lets you forward requests to specific endpoints.
EBP Servicing Consent	`gc-backbase-ebp-servicing-consent-connector`	1.4.2	Improved the delete feature to include scheme `{ob (Open Banking) or bg (Berlin Group)}` and type `{ais, pis, cbpii}` filters for EBP Connector	This feature lets you forward requests to specific endpoints.
Onfido	`gc-onfido-party-lifecycle-connector`	1.5.0	Enabled the option to download IDV reports in the download document feature	This feature lets customers retrieve IDV reports that may contain the response from an IDV process and optionally audit trails in a timeline report.

Fixes

2026.02 contains the following bug fixes for Grand Central Connectors:

Product group	Software component	Version	Title	Description
Oracle FLEXCUBE	`gc-flexcube-payment-connector`	1.5.1	Added comprehensive test coverage	The connector now includes a full JUnit 5 test suite covering all major payment flows: `fetchBankDetails` (BIC/IBAN), `fetchFees`, `initiatePayment` (single and recurring), `cancelPayment` (single and recurring), `bankPaymentCalendar`, and utility routes (`xmlToJson`, `jsonToXml`, UUID hyphen add/remove). Tests include real XSLT transformation validation using mock OBPM and Flexcube request/response payloads, ensuring correct transformation behaviour before release.
Tietoevry	`gc-tieto-evry-card-authorization-connector`	1.0.3	Fixed customer identifier routing for Tietoevry card authorization	The gc-tieto-evry-card-authorization-connector passes the Tietoevry CMS customer ID (from `customFields.cmsCustomerId`) to the Tietoevry Cards API for wallet eligibility and add-to-wallet operations, instead of the Backbase `partyId`. This resolves card authorization failures caused by sending the wrong customer identifier to the Tietoevry backend.
Tietoevry	`gc-tieto-evry-device-administration-connector`	2.0.8	Fixed customer identifier routing for Tietoevry card operations	The gc-tieto-evry-device-administration-connector reads the Tietoevry CMS customer ID from the `cmsCustomerId` field in `customFields` instead of the `partyId` field. This resolves routing failures for card operations (view PIN, view CVV, search cards, lock/unlock, activate) caused by sending the wrong customer identifier to the Tietoevry Cards API.
Oracle FLEXCUBE	`gc-flexcube-foreign-exchange-connector`	1.3.3	Fixed exchange rate response mapping to use STANDARD rate type only	The gc-flexcube-foreign-exchange-connector now filters FlexCube exchange rate responses to select only STANDARD rate-type entries when populating buy rate, sell rate, spread, and timestamp fields. Previously, the connector could return non-standard exchange rates for a currency pair, causing cross-currency payments such as internal transfers to fail with a core validation error.
Oracle FLEXCUBE	`gc-flexcube-foreign-exchange-connector`	1.3.3	Fixed incorrect endpoint URL in the foreign exchange API specification	The connector now uses grandcentral-foreign-exchange-api v1.3.6, which corrects the HTTP endpoint URL for the currency exchange rate lookup operation. Previously, the API specification contained an incorrect base path, causing requests to route to the wrong backend endpoint. The connector now routes requests to the correct FlexCube path.
Oracle FLEXCUBE	`gc-flexcube-payment-connector`	1.5.1	Enhanced end-to-end logging for payment flows	The connector now logs structured INFO and DEBUG statements throughout the payment initiation, recurring payment initiation, SI template generation, and customer number retrieval flows. Logs now capture key identifiers including `EndToEndId`, `TxnRefNo`, and `templateId` at each stage, enabling full end-to-end traceability in production and supporting faster incident diagnosis.
Party	`gc-caboose-party-connector`	2.2.0	MAINT-41146: Integrated Party V2 API in Caboose connector	The gc-caboose-party-connector now integrates with the Party V2 API, enabling updated party data retrieval and search functionality.
