This ensures quicker responses and faster resolution of flagged transactions. Any authorized client team members can respond to RFIs directly from Nium Portal.

  • Inline RFI Responses: Respond directly to RFIs within Nium Portal; clients can filter transactions requiring RFIs and respond directly within the portal. This helps both unblock clients and helps them process transactions more quickly.
  • No API integration required: Respond directly to RFIs without needing to integrate or connect with our API. You also avoid any delays that can arise due email or Slack communication with support teams.
  • Creditor/Debtor Separation: As you work through the different RFIs, for accuracy and clarity, clearly distinguish between the information of the creditor compared to the information of the debtor.
