# Payment Initiation Information

The Payment Initiation API enables Payment Initiating Service Providers (PISP) to initiate payments, with customer approval, for a C. Hoare & Co. account.

The payment-order implementation includes:

-   domestic payments;
-   domestic scheduled payments;
-   standing orders;
-   international payments;
-   file payments.

C. Hoare & Co.'s implementation conforms to the OBIE Payment specifications v3.1; any variances are documented below.

## [**Domestic Payments**](#domestic-payments)

### [**Key Information**](#key-information)

-   The domestic payment endpoints can be used to initiate a domestic payment consent journey, check the status of a consent, request a confirmation of funds response, send a payment-order and check the status of a payment-order.
-   Confirmation of Funds response is not yet supported
-   A payment initiated requiring the Multiple Authorisation Object is not yet supported; any multiple authorisation payment initiated will be rejected with error code '1531 Invalid Payment Status'
-   C. Hoare & Co. processes payments on any working day (defined as any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in England or Wales.) See processing times below.
-   We advise sending a payment-order regardless of a negative response to a GET/domestic-payment-consents/{ConsentId}/fundconfirmation request. C. Hoare & Co. do not operate real time balances.
-   The POST/payment-order must be sent within 1 minute of the successful payment consent; otherwise it will not be valid
-   Any related charge details for the payment will not be expressed in the charge object until the customer has completed their authentication journey.

### [**Payment Validations**](#payment-validations)

#### [**LocalInstrument**](#localinstrument)

UK.OBIE.FPS and UK.OBIE.CHAPS are accepted payment types for Local Instrument.
