  • The Product model now includes a String description field.
  • The following enums were added to the ErrorDetail model in order to carry through possible errors encountered on the payment leg. The purpose of these error types are to provide more suitable mappings for error types found in the payments service interface:
    • INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS
    • INVALID_ACCOUNT
    • TRANSACTION_DECLINED
  • Added the concept of a recipient to the ProvisionRequest and ProvisionResponse that consists of a Customer object. See the description below:
    • Details of the customer who will receive and make use of the voucher requested. In cases where the customer provisioning the request is doing so on another’s behalf, it may be necessary to capture the relevant personal details of the voucher recipient.
  • Added a new operation retryProvisionRequest and associated model RetryProvisionRequest that contains the following fields:
    • retryId
    • originalRequest

v1.17.0 - 03 May 2022

  • Non-functional refactoring.

    • listProducts ( HTTP GET /products ). This returns a list of available products.
  • Added an amount field to the Product model.

    • RedemptionResponse

v1.13.0 - 07 December 2020

  • Added operatorId field to the Originator model.

v1.12.0 - 19 August 2020

v1.11.0 - 03 August 2020

  • Added Account PaymentMethod .
  • Added amounts field to the BasicAdvice model to support partial reversals and partial confirmations.

  • Added support for hashed PINs (via a new sub-type of Pin named HashedPin ).
  • Added new field region to BankAccount model for scenarios where the routingCode is not sufficient to uniquely identify a bank account.
  • Added new field emailAddress to Customer model.

v1.9.0 (Deprecated - see V1.11.0) - 22 May 2020

  • Added a new lookupRedemption operation ( HTTP GET /redemptions/{requestId} ) which allows a caller to receive the result of a prior redemption request.

v1.8.0 (Deprecated - see V1.11.0) - 13 May 2020

  • Updated the Voucher model with the following new, optional, fields:
    • pin which is a secret value that is required to be provided by a customer when redeeming the voucher using the code. Use of a PIN in addition to the voucher code adds security to the voucher redemption process.
    • serialNumber which can be used to identify the voucher in the vendor's system but cannot be used to redeem the voucher.
  • The restrictions on the Voucher.code field have been relaxed to allow any String up to a length of 40 characters. This allows support for a wider range of voucher codes.
  • Updated the lookupVoucher operation to accept a new optional query parameter: voucherSerialNumber .

v1.7.0 (Deprecated - see V1.11.0) - 06 May 2020

  • Updated the lookupVoucher operation with the following changes:
    • Added a new provisionRequestId query parameter. This will allow a voucher to be looked up using the original provisionVoucher request ID that was used to provision that voucher.
    • Made the voucherCode query parameter optional. This was done as a voucher can now also be looked up using the provisionRequestId parameter hence the voucherCode does not always need to be sent for lookupVoucher calls.

v1.6.0 - 11 March 2020

  • Dropped a trailing forward slash from operation paths. The trailing forward slash implied operations were performed against groups of resources when they were intended to act on a single resource within the group.

v1.5.0 - 13 September 2019

  • Corrected repetition of API base path.
    • Note This is breaking change to the API but is not treated as such. Previously the API defined paths to operations as /suv/v1/suv/v1/{operation} when they should have been of the more simple form /suv/v1/{operation} . Changing the API base path in this manner would typically be a breaking change and would be reflected as such by bumping the major version number in the URL from v1 to v2 . However, all known projects depending on the Single Use Voucher Service Interface are already implemented using the simpler base path of /suv/v1/{operation} . Thus the decision was made to transparently fix the base path repetition bug as a minor version update as this was deemed to be a less disruptive change to all known projects.
  • Added new lookupVoucher operation.
  • Added Product field to ProvisionRequest and ProvisionResponse models.
  • Added new field emailAddress to Customer model.
  • Added new Account.AccountType value CASH_PICKUP for cash pickup scenarios.
  • Changed masking of CardPayment.pan field to partial masking instead of full masking.
  • Added new models:
    • Pin a base PIN model
      • PinClear for PINs in the clear
      • PinEncrypted for encrypted PIN blocks with the PIN block format, accountNumber and the key index
  • Pin was added to CardPayment , taking precedence over the existing encyptedPin field
  • Added new models:
    • ExchangeRate to describe the exchange rate between two currencies.
    • Account to describe more varied accounts in a consistent manner. This has the following sub-types defined:
    • BankAccount
    • IbanAccount
    • IfsAccount
    • SwiftAccount
    • MobileWalletAccount
  • The limitations on the id field of the Institution model have been removed to make the field suitable for a wider range of applications. The values in this field need no longer be defined by Electrum and similar values as recognised at third parties may now be carried in this field. However, care should be taken during implementation to ensure that different parties agree on the values which will be present in these fields.
  • Added explicit fields for STAN and RRN values to BasicAdvice and Transaction models.

v1.4.0 - 17 January 2019

  • Added stan to Transaction and BasicAdvice models
