I&M Payment API Gateway

(Host to Host API Integration)

I&M Bank Kenya - I&M API Gateway

B2B API Integration

I&M Bank’s vision is to play a central role in providing innovative payments solutions to all her chosen customer segments hence the robust Open Bank Solution called I&M Payment Gateway. I&M Payment Gateway (Host 2 Host) module facilitates straight through processing (STP) of payments directly from our Customer’s ERP system.

 

The H2H API integration is done through a secure VPN link or point to point integration. Through this channel, our Customer’s authorized team are able to originate payment files from their ERP system and are remitted to I&M bank for processing without manual intervention.  In addition, a return file is sent back to the ERP in acceptable file format that can be consumed by our Customer’s ERP system for auto reconciliation.

 

I&M Payment Gateway securely executes payment instructions from various channels. It receives payment instructions and transforms as per the payment service provider and sends it for processing. It also handles authentication, authorization, payment processing and auto-reversals.
