Upcoming Changes
βοΈ indicates newly introduced upcoming changes
π§βπ» Platform
βοΈ Updates to Java and Kotlin SDKs: There is an upcoming change in our Java/Kotlin API that will be part of a new version release. In this update, we will be replacing an external library (Guava) with a custom solution for handling query parameters and headers. What this means for users:
- Reduced JAR Size: This change reduces the size of the SDK.
- Opt-In Update: Since this is a version change, users will have the option to upgrade at their own pace. The new version will give users access to the improvements, but it wonβt affect users who don't choose to move to it.
- Minimal Impact: There may be a small adjustment required for users who have been working directly with raw headers or query parameters.
βοΈ File Sharing via SFTP: Users will be able to perform recurring data uploads by sharing files via SFTP. Users will be able to create Payment Orders, Expected Payments, Transactions, and Ledger Transactions.
Optimized High-Volume Payments: Our systems will be optimized to significantly increase the processing speed for large volumes of ACH payments to JPMC.
Cycle Through Approvals: After approving a Payment Order, users will be able to move to the next item without returning to the approval list.
Payment Approvals by Currency: Users will be able to filter payment approvals by currency on the approvals list.
Saved Filters: Users will be able to save complex filter combinations for recurring workflows, simplifying navigation back to specific views.
File Sharing via SFTP: Users will be able to perform recurring data uploads by sharing files via SFTP. Users will be able to create Payment Orders, Expected Payments, Transactions, and Ledger Transactions.
Export Permissions Update: Going forward, users will only have access to exports when they are the creator of the export or when they are assigned access to the report from which the export was created.
Dashboard Clean-Up: Redundant "Status Change" information will be removed from the dashboard, which appears in timeline views for various objects. Similar information can be found in "Events," which are in dashboard views, or retrieved via API and webhooks. Status changes will first be removed for Expected Payments and Payment Orders in November, with additional objects to follow in early 2025. Please contact Support if you have questions or concerns.
Adjust Metadata Search Behavior: Metadata search in the UI will be case insensitive and take in multiple values in a single query.
π΅ Payments
Custom Payment Order Templates: Users will be able to create custom templates for different Payment Order use cases to make it easier to initiate payments. Users will be able to control which fields on the Payment Order form are visible, required, optional, and preset. Contact our team to schedule a demo.
Real-Time Payment Confirmation: Users will be able to receive real-time confirmation of RTP or FedNow payments at Bank of America, Cross River, JP Morgan, US Bank, and Wells Fargo via the confirmed
event in Payment Order webhooks.
Request for Payment (RFP) at PNC: Users will be able to utilize Request for Payment (RFP) on the Real Time Payments (RTP) network at PNC.
FedNow Routing Number Eligibility Check: We are adding support for FedNow to our routing number eligibility API. This API validates whether a counterparty can receive a particular payment type. If a counterparty has the ability to receive a FedNow payment, we will return fednow
on the supported_payment_types
field.
Expanded Cross-Border Payment Coverage: We are planning to expand our cross-border payment capabilities at Citi via the Worldlink product and traditional SWIFT wires, adding support for new currencies and countries.
Global Payments Validation: Payment Order fields for cross border payments will automatically be validated against the bankβs requirements for each country and currency. This will notify the user about required fields and the correct format for successful payment completion. For example, this can include Purpose Codes, Tax Identifiers, or Addresses. We will support Global Payments Validations at Bank of America, JP Morgan, and Citi.
Support for Local Payment Methods: We will support local payment methods in India, Japan, and Singapore through Bank of America, further expanding our global reach.
New Bank Integrations: New bank integrations will be added for Regions, Web Bank, and Western Alliance, expanding banking options for users.
Create Legal Entities at Cross River Bank: Users will be able to create legal entities at Cross River Bank to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

π Ledgers
Faster Ledger Queries: Performance improvements will enable faster querying of Ledger Account Category balances; categories with millions of accounts can be fetched in under 200ms.
Filter Enhancements: Users will be able to filter the Ledger Accounts page to view only accounts with nonzero posted balances. We will also fix an issue causing these filters to time out for some users.

Currency Filter Fix: We will fix an issue on the Ledger Account page where a currency filter is ignored in search.
Dropdown Display Fix: We will fix an issue in which the Ledger Account Category dropdown persists on the screen when creating a Ledger Account.
Actions Button Fix: We will fix an issue where users can't access the actions button on Ledger Transactions table rows.
