Low Value & ACH Payments

Use this API to initiate low value and ACH payments globally.

Overview

With this API, you can issue low value & ACH payments to the following regions:

  • United States & Canada (NA)
  • Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)
  • Asia Pacific (APAC)

Callback message structure and contents

  • Callback messages can contain updates for multiple payments.
  • The maximum number of payments that can come back in one callback message is 50.
  • A single callback message will either contain credits or debits, but not both.
  • A single callback can contain ACH transactions from different regions.

Callback response handling and timing

  • J.P. Morgan waits three seconds to receive a "200 OK" once a callback message is sent.
  • The retry callback mechanism has an exponential gap of 10*3^x seconds, i.e., 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 90 seconds, 270 seconds, 810 seconds, etc. This exponential gap of 10*3^x will go on indefinitely until we receive a "200 OK". In the event there is a long-running outage on the client’s side, upon retry, there is not guarantee that the callback messages are sent sequentially. If a "200 OK" is recieved from a client’s system for a given callback message, a replay of that message again is not supported.

ACH transaction processing - holidays/weekends

  • If the account is set up for revaluation, the system will update the value date automatically in case there is a holiday.
  • If the account is not set up for revaluation, the system will reject the transaction if it falls on a holiday.
  • You should populate the Ultimate Debtor field with a "JPMorgan/your company" reference.
  •  Ultimate Debtor overrides Debtor in clearing if you include both values.
  • Note that sponsored accounts can only be booked in the United States.
