Bank Account Payment

Accept payments directly from your customers local bank account through a direct bank debit payment channel.
How it works
1.
To initiate a direct bank debit payment, make a request to the account payments service with the payments/initiates endpoint.
2.
When the request is made you are expected to get a pending response.
3.
The response from banks differ, some banks will return with a redirect url while others will not.
4.
When a redirect url is returned, you are expected to redirect to the link supplied which will take the customer to the bank page. On this page, customer is expected to enter the OTP sent to their registered phone number or email with the bank. After the OTP is submitted, SeerBit redirects back to the redirect url supplied by the merchant.
5.
When the redirect url is not returned, the transaction would be awaiting validation.
6.
To validate the transaction the customer gets an OTP( one time password) via the registered number with the bank or via email.
7.
​Use the OTP entered by the customer and reference to call the payments/validate endpoint to complete the transaction.​
8.
​Verify the payment​
