Cross Border Payments

Purpose of Payment Codes

Cross border payments to certain countries require a purpose of payment code be specified for each transfer. Your Astra Integration Specialist will enable your program for specific purpose of payment code(s) for which you are approved.

If required, the purpose of payment code should be included in the routine creation payload (and is case sensitive).

Example POST /v1/routines request payload:
