How payment APIs work 

Payment APIs allow your systems to connect directly to CommBank, so Fast Payments and PayTo® agreements can be initiated, managed and tracked within your own platforms.

Instead of relying on manual processes or separate systems, you can trigger Fast Payments, PayTo® agreements, receive updates and manage workflows.
