Payments Engine

Every payment rail. One API.

Send, receive, and reconcile payments across SEPA, Faster Payments, SWIFT, ACH, and more. We abstract every rail's complexity - retries, error codes, scheme-specific formatting - so your team writes clean business logic, not payment protocol parsers.

Frequently asked

Common questions about our Payments Engine

What payment rails does Techvica support?

Techvica supports 8 payment rails: SEPA Credit Transfer, SEPA Direct Debit, Faster Payments, CHAPS, SWIFT, ACH, BACS, and SPEI. All rails are accessible through a single unified API endpoint.

How fast are payments processed through the API?

Our API responds in under 40ms on average. Payment settlement speed depends on the rail: Faster Payments and SPEI settle instantly, SEPA same-day, and SWIFT typically 1-5 business days.

How does Techvica handle failed or rejected payments?

Failed payments trigger automatic retry with configurable fallback routing. Every failure fires a webhook with the scheme-specific error code, and you can configure alternative rails for automatic re-routing.

Can I process cross-border payments with FX conversion?

Yes. FX conversion happens automatically at point of payment using real-time interbank rates. You can also lock rates for up to 48 hours via our Multi-Currency Accounts feature.

Does Techvica support bulk and scheduled payments?

Yes. You can batch up to 10,000 payments per API call and schedule them for future execution. Each payment in the batch fires its own webhook for granular tracking.

What uptime and reliability guarantees do you offer?

We maintain a 99.997% uptime SLA backed by contractual commitments. Our infrastructure runs across multiple availability zones with automatic failover and zero-downtime deployments.
