Banks and payment methods
A reference of banks, payment channels, and requisite types (card, SBP, IBAN) in Syncra V2
Banks and payment methods
For fine-tuning P2P payment flows, Syncra V2 provides a reference of banks
and payment channels. It lets merchants route clients to preferred payment
methods to increase conversion. The platform is not tied to a specific
country: the reference can include RU/CIS banks (cards, SBP) and
international markets (IBAN/BANK_TRANSFER — Turkey, the EU).
Supported banks
The bank list is determined by the tenant configuration and managed by an
administrator via the control panel. The current list is available via
GET /banks.
Bank examples by market:
| System name | Display name | Country | Methods (requisite types) |
|---|---|---|---|
sber | Sberbank | RU | SBP, BANK_CARD |
t-bank | T-Bank | RU | SBP, BANK_CARD |
ziraat | Ziraat Bankası | TR | BANK_TRANSFER (IBAN/Havale) |
sepa-bank | SEPA bank (EU) | EU | BANK_TRANSFER (IBAN/SEPA) |
The bank list grows without restarting services. A bank's availability depends on active trader requisites for that bank and requisite type.
Available payment methods
Payment methods define the technical protocol of the payment. Under the
hood, each method has a requisite type (RequisiteType) — a
country-neutral classification of the payment instrument:
- SBP (faster payment system): Transfer by the payer's phone number to
the trader's card at any SBP member bank. The highest conversion on the
RU market. Requisite type:
SBP. - BANK_CARD (card-to-card transfer): A direct transfer by the
recipient's 16-digit bank card number. Requisite type:
BANK_CARD. - BANK_TRANSFER (international bank transfer by IBAN): A transfer by
IBAN (ISO 13616) — the recipient's international account number.
Used for markets outside RU/CIS: Havale (Turkey,
TRY), SEPA (EU,EUR), and any other bank transfer where the recipient is identified by an IBAN. On the payment page, the client receives theiban,holder_name, andpayment_method_namefields; the IBAN is encrypted in Vault with the same transit key as the PAN. Requisite type:BANK_TRANSFER.
The full list of requisite types (BANK_CARD, E_WALLET, SBP, SIM,
BANK_TRANSFER) is in Requisite types.
The availability of a specific type for your merchant is determined by
the merchant → method → currency configuration and requires no
integration code changes: a PayIn is created with the same
POST /deals/payin endpoint with the right payment_method_id.
Get the bank list via the API
To fetch the dynamic list of available banks with their current activity on the platform (which channels are live right now), use the GET endpoint:
GET /api/v1/p2p/merchant/banksQuery parameters
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
country | string | No | ISO country code to filter by (for example, "ru", "uz"). |
currency | string | No | Payment currency (for example, "RUB"). |
Request example
GET /api/v1/p2p/merchant/banks?country=ru¤cy=RUBResponse example (200 OK)
{
"banks": [
{
"bank_name": "sber",
"display_name": "Sberbank",
"country": "ru",
"methods": ["BANK_CARD", "SBP"]
},
{
"bank_name": "t-bank",
"display_name": "T-Bank",
"country": "ru",
"methods": ["BANK_CARD", "SBP"]
},
{
"bank_name": "ziraat",
"display_name": "Ziraat Bankası",
"country": "tr",
"methods": ["BANK_TRANSFER"]
}
]
}The methods field in the GET /banks response holds requisite
types (RequisiteType: BANK_CARD, SBP, BANK_TRANSFER, ...), NOT
payment methods and NOT their identifiers. The endpoint returns no UUID.
The canonical source of payment_method_id (UUID) is
GET /payment-methods.
Get the method catalog via the API
The canonical method catalog of your tenant is the endpoint:
GET /api/v1/p2p/merchant/payment-methodsIt returns the active (status: ACTIVE) methods of the merchant's
tenant. This is the canonical catalog of method identifiers: the UUID
(the id field) and the slug (the slug field) for
payment_method_id in POST /deals/payin and for payment_method in
POST /deals/payout — both legs of the deal accept both formats (a
unified contract; the recommended format is UUID for PayIn, slug for
PayOut).
Response example (200 OK)
{
"data": [
{
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"slug": "express-havale",
"name": "Havale Express (TRY)",
"requisite_types": ["BANK_TRANSFER"],
"currency_code": "TRY",
"status": "ACTIVE"
},
{
"id": "6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8",
"slug": "sbp_rub",
"name": "SBP",
"requisite_types": ["SBP"],
"currency_code": "RUB",
"status": "ACTIVE"
}
]
}| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string(UUID) | Method UUID — the canonical value for payment_method_id in PayIn; also accepted as payment_method in PayOut. |
slug | string | Method slug — the canonical value for payment_method in PayOut (sbp_rub, card_rub, mobcom_rub, express-havale, ...); also accepted as payment_method_id in PayIn. Slugs are identical across all environments (stage/prod) and never change over time. |
name | string | The method's display name. |
requisite_types | string[] | The requisite types (RequisiteType) the method serves. An informational field: it shows which trader requisites will be issued to the client (an SBP phone, a card, a SIM, an IBAN, a wallet number) — it is not passed in PayIn/PayOut requests. |
currency_code | string | The method's ISO 4217 currency (from the tenant's currency reference). The method currency must match the deal currency (PayOut checks this and answers 400). |
status | string | ACTIVE or DISABLED. DISABLED — the method is off for your merchant: payin/payout returns 400 (managed by the platform operator, enabled on request). Other statuses are filtered out. |
Take method identifiers from this catalog at runtime (with caching) —
new methods will then appear in your GET /banks automatically, with no
code changes. Both formats (id/UUID and slug) are accepted on both
legs of the deal; the recommended pairs are PayIn → id (UUID),
PayOut → slug.
Automatic filtering and cascades
- The
GET /banksresponse is built from the tenant's active methods (p2p_payment_methods.status = ACTIVE) with country/currency filters — a bank never "temporarily disappears" from the reference when traders exhaust their daily limits (the availability of a specific trader/requisite affects deal matching, not the bank reference). - The system distributes the incoming payment flow across partner-bank
cards / IBAN accounts to prevent blocks, which extends the lifetime of
payment requisites. This applies to all requisite types —
BANK_CARD,SBP,E_WALLET,SIM,BANK_TRANSFER.
