Before you begin

All KeyBank APIs require certificates, user credentials, and certain permissions. Check out our Getting Started Guide to learn more.

Two in one

At KeyBank, the RTP and wire payment APIs are a single API product with two service capabilities. You need specific permissions to access either the RTP Send Payment API or the Wires Transfer API.

Overview

Wire transfers are great for urgent payments and suitable for large volume transactions. Use the Wire Origination API for urgent or time-sensitive transactions, such as large business payments or real estate transactions.

Wire transfers move money from one bank account to another. KeyBank transfers your funds using the secure SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) system and Fedwire Clearing House. Through our secure network, wire transfers typically involve a processing time that can vary from a few hours to several business days depending on factors such as banks involved and any other intermediary institutions. Banks typically initiate and process wire transfers to provide a direct and expedited method of transferring funds. Usually, wire transfers involve a fee per transmission which can vary depending on the banks involved and the currency used.

The main difference between RTP payments and wire transfers is in their speed and settlement process. RTP payments are designed for real-time transfers, providing immediate availability of funds, while wire transfers may take longer to process and settle.

Payment chain parties

The two calls - initiate a payment and validate a payment - have the party object. This is a reusable object that has details about the person or entity sending a payment and the one receiving the payment. The party object reflects the payment chain of events. Use the request fields to direct the payment transaction from one account to another.

ORDER	PAYMENT CHAIN	REQUEST FIELDS TO USE
1	The individual or organization sends the payment.	Enter the debit account number of the individual or organization in debitParty.
2	The financial institution of the debit account holder transfers the funds.	We assume this is KeyBank. Enter the ABA or routing number for the financial institution in debitPartyBank.
3	The financial institution that services the recipient’s account receives the funds.	Enter the US ABA number for the financial institution in creditPartyBank.
4	The beneficiary party receives the funds.	Enter the account number of the beneficiary in creditParty.

API requirements

KeyClientId: When you initiate or validate a payment, you are required to provide the KeyClientId in the request header. The KeyClientId is a 32-character string provided by KeyBank during the onboarding process. This field is not the same as your client credentials (part of your API keys needed to obtain an access token).

Psst...pass this note

Want to apply a custom message or tags to your transaction? The custom data feature is available when you send or validate a payment. Define the custom data in the request payload. Learn more about our custom data feature here.

Health check

get /rtp/v1/payment/healthCheck

Verify you can connect to the API service. A bearer token is required.

Get the status with the request reference number

get /rtp/v1/payment/status/debitAccount/{debitAccount}/reference/{reference}

Get the status of a payment with the debit account number of the payment originator and the request reference number. This call is typically used for troubleshooting an issue with timing or a technical error with a payment transaction. You can assign a request reference number when you initiate or validate a payment. This number is metadata for backend traceability and is not sent with the payment. Use this number with the debit account number for the originating payment. The account number and request reference number must be unique; you cannot use the same request reference number for different transactions.

With GET methods, use a cURL command to generate your request. Select Copy code for easy copy and paste into your command line. Modify the required fields with your information.

Errors

When an error occurs, the paymentTransactionResponse object returns with the paymentStatus of ERROR. Some errors are reported with the standard HTTP error response. Certain violations report with an HTTP 200 response for issues where the API service successfully receives the request, but it encounters errors. KeyBank may include additional information about the error in API-specific error messages.

For more information about errors, see Error handling.

API-specific KeyBank error codes and details are in the error object of the response payload. Issues can be about account restrictions, network timeout, invalid data in the request, etc., and represent a failed payment.
