New Product Updates

European Payments | Spain and France Branch Enablement

As a European customer you can now create EUR accounts with Spanish (ES) and French (FR) IBANs in addition to our existing Irish (IE) and Dutch (NL) selection of European IBANs, enabling your expansion ambitions within Europe.

As a SEPA scheme participant, we offer the capability to send and receive payments via SEPA Credit Transfer and SEPA Instant Credit Transfer.

Modulr Portal | Payment Proof

Payment Proofs are coming to the Modulr Portal next week!

You will be able to navigate to the transaction modal to download a proof of payment certificate following payment completion, making it easier to prove that your payment has been sent.

New features added via API

Open Banking Payment Initiation Service | UK Expansion

You can now initiate payments from accounts at Starling Bank. You can find our full supported bank list and read about how to use the provider list API in our Developer Guide.

Enhancements / Bugs Resolved

Cards | Status Changes

Now you can see which cards have expired. Previously the status of a card was updated from EXPIRED to CANCELLED when a replacement was initiated. Find out more here.

UK Payments | Direct Debit Collections API Validation

You will now receive an error message if you create a direct debits with an invalid first payment date, i.e. a non - working day or a day in the past.

UK Payments | Direct Debit Collection Scheduled Status Improvements

You can now see a more accurate status of your direct debit collection schedule. When the collection schedule is submitted for processing, it will show as ‘SUBMITTED’ and will update to ‘ACTIVE’ when the collection occurs, instead of ‘PENDING’.

Accounts | Account Status Webhooks

You will now receive a notification when your account status is changed. (e.g. Your account is blocked or re-activated)

Don’t forget to subscribe to notifications, so that you no longer need to call the API to check your account status.

Open Banking | Confirmation of Payee

We've made improvements to our error handling, which means you'll experience fewer HTTP 500 errors, when we receive an invalid response from a bank during a name check request. This means a more seamless and reliable experience for you, and less time spent troubleshooting.
