New Feature

Know When Funds Will Arrive — Estimated Delivery Time

Clients can now view the expected delivery time of payouts at the moment a transaction is initiated. This information is shared via the estimatedDeliveryTime field in the REMIT_TRANSACTION_SENT_TO_BANK webhook.

The timestamp reflects when the funds are expected to reach the beneficiary, based on real-time routing data, partner cutoffs, and local holidays.

For more information, see Remit Transaction Sent To Bank.

Upcoming Regulatory Change

Effective October 9, 2025, all EUR Local payouts from EU-based clients will undergo Verification of Payee (VoP) checks per EU regulation. Payouts with name mismatches will be rejected by default.

See the VoP Migration Guide for integration details and configuration steps.

More details for Fee_Debit transactions

We’ve updated Fee_Debit transaction labels to give customers more context about the fees charged:

  • feeName — Shows which predefined fee applies to the transaction.
  • tierType — Indicates whether the fee is based on tier rules or non-tier rules, per the updated Fee Details v3 request.
  • condition — Lists the conditions under which the fee is charged (for example, source_currency, destination_currency, destination_country).

Nium’s pricing engine now supports more customization options, including fees based on payout and payin methods and tiered pricing. To view pricing with these options, use the Fee Details v3 request.

New Features

E_DOC_VERIFY for UBOs and Directors in the EU, UK, and SG

We’ve expanded the E_DOC_VERIFY KYC method to:

  • UBOs and Directors in the EU and UK.
  • Both E_KYC and E_DOC_VERIFY in SG.

This reduces the need for notarized documents in the EU and speeds up the KYC process. For implementation details, see Onboarding Response – 200 to generate a redirectURL for stakeholders in these regions.

No expiry for redirectURL in Corporate Onboarding

redirectURL links for Corporate Onboarding no longer expire, unless the customer starts but does not complete the KYC flow in a single uninterrupted session.

If the session times out, customers can restart the process using the same link or by refreshing their browser. As a result, the Regenerate KYC URL API will be deprecated (currently still supported with a dummy expiry for existing integrations).

Standardized Letter of Authorization

The Letter of Authorization (Power of Attorney) is now standardized across all Nium regions. You can direct customers to the updated template.

Get Fee Details V3

Introducing a new request — Get Fee Details V3.

This new version provides more details on the pricing structure. For more information, see Fees.

Validate the beneficiary schema to all Payouts

Clients can confirm the validity of the payment object before debiting funds. This change improves user experience and reduces operational overhead.

Financial Institution customers can now validate payment objects upfront before debiting funds, helping to reduce errors and operational overhead.

Ongoing Due Diligence

Nium will start the ODD (Ongoing Due Diligence) process for corporate customers approved more than a year ago. ODD is a periodic review process that active customers must undergo based on their risk profile and transaction activity.

Our compliance officer will raise any required RFIs. You are expected to respond to RFIs in a timely manner to help us complete ODD. Failure to respond may result in the suspension of the account.

You can subscribe to CUSTOMER_ODD_STATUS_WEBHOOK to track the status and progress of ODD. See ODD Status for additional details.

Failure to respond may result in temporary account suspension.
