## Payment systems and integrations

DevsReady designs and builds payment software for banks, payment institutions and fintech companies: payment APIs, orchestration, connectors to schemes and processors, and reconciliation, using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka and Oracle. Its payments experience comes from production banking work for one of the largest banks in Europe.

### Who payment integration work is for

Banks, payment and e-money institutions, fintech companies and their system integrators that need to connect a new scheme or processor, add instant payments, expose payment APIs to partners or remove manual reconciliation. Typical buyers are CTOs, heads of payments engineering and delivery leads.

### Typical use cases

What DevsReady builds for payments, from its corporate banking work and its engineering approach:

- **Payments and order signing in a banking channel :** High-volume payments and transactions with secure order signing and a full audit trail. [Case study](https://devsready.io/case-studies#next-generation-corporate-banking-platform)

- **Recurring payments :** Direct debit agreements and requests that automate recurring payments. [Case study](https://devsready.io/case-studies#next-generation-corporate-banking-platform)

- **Payment APIs without duplicates :** Idempotency keys, deduplicating consumers and explicit payment states, so a retry never executes the same instruction twice.

- **Reconciliation by design :** Instructions that keep the references the scheme returns, so statements match automatically and people handle only true exceptions.

### What our payments experience covers

On a corporate banking platform for one of the largest banks in Europe, DevsReady built payments and transactions for high-volume operations, direct debit agreements and requests for recurring payments, and secure order signing, all with a full audit trail. The rest of this page describes how DevsReady engineers payment systems; the schemes, processors and message types your project needs are mapped with you in discovery.

### Payment problems we solve

- **Duplicate or lost payments :** A retry after a timeout creates a second payment, or an instruction disappears between systems.

- **Instant payment time limits :** SEPA Instant Credit Transfer leaves seconds for validation, checks and booking.

- **Scheme and format changes :** Moving to ISO 20022 means mapping richer, structured data.

- **Fragile processor connections :** Each card or payment processor has its own APIs, error codes and callbacks.

- **Manual reconciliation :** Statements matched to internal records in spreadsheets, with exceptions found late.

- **Open banking access :** PSD2 account and payment APIs for third party providers, with consent and strong customer authentication.

### Typical payment integration architecture

A payment platform stays reliable when initiation, orchestration and external connections are separate, and every state change is recorded as an event.
Payment initiation, processing and reconciliation

- Initiation

- Banking channels

- Partner APIs

- PSD2 open banking APIs

- Payment API

- Validation

- Idempotency keys

- Order signing

- Orchestration

- Payment state machine

- Routing by scheme

- Timeouts and retries

- Connectors

- SEPA SCT and SCT Inst

- SEPA Direct Debit

- Card processors

- ISO 20022 mapping

- Records and reconciliation

- Kafka event log

- Ledger booking

- camt.053 statement matching

A typical architecture. Schemes, processors and message types are confirmed for each project. Each payment moves through explicit states, from received to settled or rejected, and each transition is written to the event log that feeds the audit trail and reconciliation, so a failed step is retried safely instead of repeated by hand.

### How we engineer reliable payments

- **Idempotency :** Every request carries a key stored with its result, so a retry after a timeout returns the original outcome instead of a second payment.

- **Safe messaging :** Consumers deduplicate, and state changes and outgoing events are written in one transaction through an outbox.

- **Resilience :** Timeouts, bounded retries and circuit breakers per connection, so one slow provider affects one route, not the platform.

- **ISO 20022 mapping :** Isolated, tested connectors, so a format change touches one place.

- **Reconciliation by design :** Instructions keep the references the scheme returns, so statements match automatically and people handle only true exceptions.

### How we de-risk a payments project

- **Discovery :** Schemes, processors, message types and cut-off rules mapped before any commitment.

- **Proof of concept :** One payment route end to end, free when you continue, in about one month from signed contract.

- **Governance and security :** Statements of work under a master services agreement, an NDA before details, and work inside your security rules and environments.

### Payments technology stack

Java, Spring Boot and Quarkus for payment services; Kafka and ActiveMQ for events; REST APIs for initiation and partners; Oracle Database and Oracle Golden Gate for data; Elasticsearch and Logstash for search over events; OpenShift, Docker, Kubernetes or AWS for deployment.

### Proof and results

The Next-Generation Corporate Banking Platform case study describes the payments, direct debit and order signing modules: corporate clients run them digitally, with an activity log that gives compliance a full audit trail. Figures are published only with client approval.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Can DevsReady build an instant payments flow for SEPA Instant Credit Transfer?

DevsReady can build the services an instant payments flow needs: a fast validation path, idempotent processing, explicit states, strict timeouts and reconciliation. Scheme access, your payment hub or processor and the message set are agreed in discovery.

#### How does DevsReady handle ISO 20022 messages?

In isolated mapping connectors for the message types your flows use, such as pain.001, pacs.008 and camt.053, each covered by tests with sample messages from your scheme or provider.

#### How do you prevent duplicate payments?

With idempotency keys at every entry point, deduplication in every consumer and explicit payment states, so a retry can never execute the same instruction twice.

#### Can DevsReady build PSD2 and open banking APIs?

DevsReady builds REST APIs in Java and Spring Boot, designed around the PSD2 requirements your institution must meet: consent, strong customer authentication and third party access. The compliance obligations stay with your institution.

### Questions buyers ask

Direct answers on how an engagement starts, what drives the cost, contracts and support. Prices are quoted per project after a discovery call.

#### How does DevsReady keep payment code safe to change?

Every change ships with tests, and no untested code goes to production. Engineers own their code up to production monitoring, and every line that reaches production, including code written with AI tools, is reviewed by an experienced engineer.

#### Who owns the code and IP of a payment integration?

Ownership is written into the contract before work starts, and the usual arrangement for custom software is that your institution owns the code and IP. An NDA can be signed before you share details.

#### What does a payment integration project cost?

It depends on the schemes and processors, the message types, the volumes, the engagement model and the duration, so each project is quoted after a discovery call. The proof of concept is free when you continue with DevsReady.
