buddybank (Italy): Change on decoupled flow
We announce that for buddybank (Italy), the psuMessage for the decoupled flow will be returned in future on root level of the response message (as documented) instead as now inside the _links section.
To avoid issues parsing the changed response message, please foresee latest until end of this year to retrieve the psuMessage attribute both inside and outside the _links section for
- Payment initiation
- Periodic Payment initiation
- Authorization of Payment initiation
- Authorization of periodic Payment initiation
You can do tests based on our Sandbox response, which already returns the correct response message.
The switch on production APIs is planned for beginning of 2023.
This affects buddybank (Italy) only. Other countries, the Developer Portal and the Sandbox APIs will not be affected.

UniCredit Bulbank AD: New features for Real API
We are glad to inform you that the below new features for Real API environment are fully activated.
- Making debtorAccount field optional on POSTinitPaymentRequest will enable TPPs to send PIS requests without this field. Once the user follows the redirect link, user will be forwarded to UniCredit channel. Afterwards, when user passes authorization and authentication, the payment will be displayed with the option to select Payer account based on the logic on payment type and the user’s account rights. Once the user signs the payment, the flow continues in the general way.
- Implementation of Bank-offered account will enable TPPs to send AIS consent requests without dedicated accounts. Once the user follows the redirect link and authenticates, the user will be presented with eligible accounts (based on the user’s account rights). The user will then decide on what permission types and what accounts will grant to the TPPs.
- DebtorName on GETpaymentDetailResponse – enabling additional field (debtor name/ name of the account owner) to be present on API GETpaymentDetail response.
Do not hesitate to contact us via our support form in case of any challenges in using the new features.
