Monitor Transaction

When the Payment Order is created, transaction monitoring will be kicked off automatically.

Based on the compliance score, a Payment Order will be automatically approved, automatically denied, or have a Case opened for manual review.

Using your sandbox account, you can test these scenarios using select counterparties. If you are unfamiliar with making payments, check out the Payments Quickstart Guide, as well as the Internal Accounts and Counterparties Sandbox details pages. The sandbox will return dummy data and not run live checks on the data submitted, as those require calls to downstream data providers.
