  | Product group              | Software component                 | Version | Title                                                                       | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
  | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | Fraud Detection            | `grandcentral-fraud-detection-api` | 1.2.0   | Enabled `riskIndicators` in Fraud Detection API response                    | The `Fraud Detection API` now returns explicit `riskIndicators` showing which specific factors matched during fraud detection. This enhancement lets banks understand exactly what triggered fraud alerts during onboarding, prioritize reviews based on specific indicators, and improve detection accuracy with full visibility into matched criteria.                                                                                             |
  | Party Lifecycle Management | `grandcentral-party-lifecycle-api` | 1.4.0   | Enabled customer screening against global watchlists in Party Lifecycle API | The `Party Lifecycle API` now supports customer screening against global watchlists to identify matches in Sanctions, Warnings, Fitness and Probity, PEPs registers, Watchlists, and Adverse Media lists. This capability enables banks to meet KYC and KYB regulatory requirements, reduce financial crime risk, and ensure AML compliance by automatically identifying high-risk individuals and entities during customer and business onboarding. |
  | Payment                    | `grandcentral-batch-payment-api`   | 1.0.1   | Added feature for cancelling batch payments                                 | This feature allows payment systems to cancel an entire batch of payments or some of the payments from within a batch, on the condition that payments are not yet processed. The API relays information of which batch or inidividual payments from within the batch are supposed to be cancelled. For this, the `PATCH /batches` endpoint has been introduced.                                                                                      |
  | Payment                    | `grandcentral-batch-payment-api`   | 1.0.1   | Added feature for initiating a batch payment                                | This feature allows payment systems to create multiple payments from a single batch. The API relays information of multiple receivers with their bank account details. Banking use cases include payroll, vendor transfers, or reimbursements. For this, the `POST /batches` endpoint has been introduced.                                                                                                                                           |
