  | Product group   | Software component                              | Version | Title                                                                  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
  | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
  | Payments        | `gc-obpm-payment-connector`                     | 1.6.0   | Added standard and recurring SEPA Credit Transfer payment initiation   | The OBPM payment connector now supports Standard SEPA (SEPACT) and recurring SEPA payment initiation. Banks can process eurozone credit transfers alongside existing domestic payment types.                                                                                                                                                                                   |
  | Payments        | `gc-obpm-payment-connector`                     | 1.6.0   | Added SEPA bank directory lookup to fetch bank details                 | The OBPM payment connector now resolves bank details from the SEPA bank directory when `identificationType=BIC` is specified, returning SEPA scheme eligibility (SEPACT and SEPAINST support) alongside BIC details.                                                                                                                                                           |
  | Payments        | `gc-obpm-payment-connector`                     | 1.6.0   | Added SEPA Instant Credit Transfer payment initiation                  | The OBPM payment connector now supports SEPA Instant (SEPAINST) single payment initiation for real-time eurozone credit transfers. Recurring SEPA Instant payments are not supported.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
  | Payments        | `gc-obpm-direct-debit-mandate-connector`        | 1.1.0   | Added Direct Debit Mandate search capability                           | The OBPM direct debit mandate connector now supports searching for mandates by party ID, account number, and status. Bank customers can retrieve a filtered list of direct debit mandates, enabling more transparent mandate management.                                                                                                                                       |
  | Payments        | `gc-obpm-batch-payment-inbound-connector`       | 1.0.3   | Added configurable HTTP retry for transient OBPM failures              | The OBPM batch payment inbound connector can now retry requests that receive HTTP 429 or 5xx responses, improving resilience under high load and transient Azure Service Bus availability issues. You opt in to retry using the `httpRetryFlag` property.                                                                                                                      |
  | ComplyAdvantage | `gc-comply-advantage-party-lifecycle-connector` | 1.2.1   | Extended ComplyAdvantage screening response with matched risk profiles | The ComplyAdvantage connector now returns detailed risk profiles for screening matches, including matchScore, matchStrength, alertReference, and vendor-specific AML data (risk categories, PEP entries, sanction list matches, and adverse media references). This helps customers meet AML compliance requirements with richer screening data directly from ComplyAdvantage. |
  | Feedzai         | `gc-feedzai-fraud-detection-connector`          | 1.4.0   | Added decisionFlag support to the Feedzai fraud detection connector    | The Feedzai connector now maps the decisionFlag from Feedzai responses, providing a vendor-configured action such as Allow, Block, Challenge, or Quarantine directly in the API response. This removes the need for customers to configure score-to-flag mappings on the Backbase side.                                                                                        |

## Fixes

2026.03 contains the following bug fixes for Grand Central Connectors:

<div className="release-notes">
  | Product group | Software component                       | Version | Title                                                                      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
  | ------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | Payments      | `gc-obpm-direct-debit-mandate-connector` | 1.1.0   | Fixed Direct Debit Mandate response field structure                        | The `mandatePartyReference`, `mandatedPayeeReference`, and `directDebitMandateDirectoryEntryReference` fields are now correctly returned at the top level of each mandate object. Previously these fields were nested incorrectly, causing field-not-found errors for consumers accessing them at the expected path.                   |
  | Payments      | `gc-obpm-batch-payment-connector`        | 1.0.2   | Fixed event folder cleanup after batch processing                          | The connector no longer explicitly deletes event folders after batch processing. Azure Blob Storage automatically removes the virtual folder prefix once all blobs within it are deleted, making the manual deletion unnecessary and avoiding potential race conditions.                                                               |
  | Temenos       | `gc-temenos-party-connector`             | 2.0.4   | Fixed secondary address processing for PERSON and ORGANISATION party types | Secondary address creation failed when the party type was ORGANISATION because the connector attempted to extract person name fields. The connector now correctly branches on `partyType` to use `personName` for PERSON parties and `name` for ORGANISATION parties. Sensitive configuration values are also removed from log output. |
