Inbound payments
When you receive an SCT payment, you'll be notified via webhook. To receive webhooks, you'll need to subscribe to them first using the ClearBank Portal.
Our SCT UK service has two dedicated inbound payment webhooks:
Payments.CrossBorder.InboundPaymentCompleted- Cross-border Inbound Payment Completed webhook - This webhook contains detailed ISO 20022 compliant payment information of any inbound SCT payments.CustomerAccounts.TransactionCompleted- Customer Account Transaction Completed webhook - This webhook contains the minimum information necessary to reconcile a payment.
Note: if you are subscribed to our inbound Multi-Currency Payments service webhooks,
Payments.Mccy.TransactionCreatedandPayments.Mccy.TransactionSettled, these will also notify you of any inbound SCT payments. All of these webhooks'TransactionIdfield will have the same UUID whenever they refer to the same payment, so you can use this field in your idempotency logic to prevent double counting of inbound SCT payments.
