Bank API Request Log
Overview for Users
When you initiate a payment through the Outward Bank Payment (OBP) system, the application communicates securely with external banks like HDFC to process your transaction.
Every such interaction—whether it is initiating the payment, checking its status, or querying the bank balance—is automatically recorded in the Bank API Request Log. This log keeps track of all requests sent to the bank and the corresponding responses.
Why is this Important to You?
- Transparency: You (and authorized users) can review what information was sent and received for each payment.
- Audit Trail: The log provides a detailed history that helps in verifying and troubleshooting payment-related issues.
- Security: Sensitive data exchanged with banks is securely logged and accessible only to authorized personnel.
How to Use the Log
As an end-user, you typically do not need to manually access this log—it works in the background to document all bank communications related to your OBP transactions.
However, if you encounter issues with a payment or need to confirm its status, authorized users such as finance managers can review these logs to assist with resolving problems.
Summary
The Bank API Request Log is an essential feature that captures every step of payment processing via OBP to ensure accuracy, security, and accountability in your banking operations.
