Payment APIs can connect account operations to business systems by allowing software to programmatically retrieve account information and initiate payments, but the specific connections depend on the financial institution and service arrangement. DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides a business account; the relevant financial institution independently approves each account and determines its features. Businesses may apply online for a US-dollar business account and Hong Kong or Singapore multi-currency business account options. After approval, available account features may include international collections, cross-border payments, currency management, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting. These features can be exposed through APIs to integrate with ERP, accounting, or treasury systems, but actual availability depends on the institution, account, product and jurisdiction.

APIs enable programmatic account operations

Payment APIs provide a way for business systems to interact with account operations without manual intervention. For example, an ERP system could use APIs to fetch transaction records or initiate a payment. However, the ability to do so depends on whether the financial institution offers such APIs and whether the account type supports the required operations. Businesses should confirm API availability and capabilities with the relevant financial institution.

Integration scope varies by provider and account

Not all accounts come with API access. The financial institution's opening documents determine account type, holder and terms, which may include whether API access is available. Even when APIs are offered, the specific endpoints, data formats, and supported operations can differ. USD transfers may use ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them. Therefore, integration possibilities are not universal and must be verified per account.

Stablecoin and crypto services are separate

USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability. These services may have their own APIs, but they are distinct from the business account APIs provided by the financial institution. Businesses should review the terms of each service separately.

No guarantees on integration or outcomes

No account approval, payment acceptance, fee, exchange rate, speed, coverage or business outcome is guaranteed. API integration does not guarantee that a payment will be processed or that data will be available in real time. Businesses should not assume any specific integration capability without confirming with the financial institution or service provider.

FAQ

Can I use payment APIs to automate reconciliation?

Possibly, if the financial institution provides APIs that expose transaction records and reconciliation data. Confirm with the institution whether your account includes this feature.

Do all DogPay business accounts include API access?

No. API access depends on the financial institution, account type, and service arrangement. Check the account opening documents or ask the institution.

Are stablecoin APIs part of the business account?

No. Stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates and are separate from the business account. Their APIs are subject to separate terms.

Can I initiate ACH, SWIFT, or Fedwire payments via API?

Only if the relevant account and service arrangement support those rails and the institution offers API initiation. Otherwise, you may need to use other channels.
