New feature: Cancellation of future dated payments and standing order for UniCredit Bank Germany
We are happy to inform you that we are implementing a new functionality to delete payments for Germany (Hypovereinsbank - HVB Online Banking).
With the new method, DELETE, it will be possible to cancel both single future payments and periodic payments.
Some considerations below:
- Cancellation can only be done by same TPP that initiated the payment;
- The payment that you want to delete must be fully authorized;
- The payment status must not be booked;
- The payment cancellation must be authorized by PSU (only for standing orders).
This API will be available on catalogue from July 25th.
Starting from July 27th, it will be possible to invoke this API and proceed with payments cancellation for Sandbox and Real APIs.
