The BillPayment control is a single control that supports the SignOn and Payment functions of Open Financial Exchange, as described by OFX Specification 1.x and 2.x.

Syntax

BillPayment

Remarks

Payment requests can be used to schedule individual payments and to modify or delete payments if necessary.

To use the BillPayment control, first provide OFXAppId, and OFXAppVersion properties, your FI information (by setting the FIOrganization, FIId and FIUrl properties), your login information (OFXUser, OFXPassword).

Next:

• set Payment (PaymentFromBankId, PaymentFromAccountId, and PaymentFromAccountType properties to the values corresponding to the account from which you wish to pay the bill, PaymentAmount to the desired amount, PaymentDateDue to the date payment has to be processed);
• set Payee (by providing either PayeeId or: payee full information (via PayeeAggregate or by setting each payee property such as PayeeName, PayeeAddr1, PayeePhone, PayeeListId (if assigned by the server) and PayeeAccount to your account id with that biller;

Finally, call the PayBill method. If the biller does not exist in the payee list, the payment request will also set up that payee adding it to your payee list.

Upon successful response, the PaymentId, PaymentStatus and PaymentDateProcessed properties will be populated indicating the status of your payment. If the payee didn't exist in your payee list, and if your FI supports assigning id to payees, the PayeeId and PayeeListId assigned to that payer might also be returned in the server response.

Between the time a payment is scheduled and the time the server processes the payment, the user can request changes to the parameters of that payment. For example, the PaymentAmount or PaymentDateDue of the payment can be modified. To modify a scheduled payment identified by PaymentId, the ModifyPayment method can be called where the PaymentId identifies the targeted payment. When this method is called, the full contents of the payment request must be specified, including both modified and unmodified data. All data can be modified except PayeeName and PayeeId. Depending on the server, the response might include the date on which server actually processed this payment, or if it failed due to insufficient funds.

To cancel a scheduled payment identified by PaymentId, the CancelPayment method must be called.

Obtaining the status for a payment identified by PaymentId can be done by calling the GetStatus method.

Bill payments are subject to synchronization which can be done by calling the SynchronizePayments method.

Default Value

""

Remarks

This might be returned in the server response after a MFA authentication (i.e. MFA challenge question/answer pairs were validated by the server when the SendChallengeAnswers method in FIProfile control was called).

To prevent servers from needing to authenticate the user in each OFX request, the server may respond to a correct set of challenge answers with a OFXAccessKey on the signon response (when the SendChallengeAnswers method in FIProfile control was called).

The server determines the contents of this optional element. On each subsequent signon request, the client will send the last value of the OFXAccessKey it has received, even after the end of the current session. The server has the option to respond to any subsequent request with a 3000 error code, requiring the client to send the MFA challenge questions request again (by calling the RequestChallengeQuestions method in FIProfile control). This allows the server to determine the lifetime of the OFXAccessKey.

When the SynchronizePayees is called, the SyncPayees event is fired for each payee in the payee list. Among other payee data returned through this event's parameters, there is also a PayeeAggregate parameter.

When sending a payment request (by calling PayBill) to an existing payee in the list returned via the payee synchronization request, and when the PayeeId is unknown or not assigned, instead of setting all payee's properties, the user can set the PayeeAggregate to the value of PayeeAggregate returned for that payee from the SyncPayees event. When the PayeeAggregate is set to this value, all payee's properties are populated with the corresponding values in the aggregate.

Aggregates are pieces of XML taken from the financial institution's original response. They contain elements that correspond to many of the control's properties. However, some of these elements, and/or their potential values, may not be supported by the control. Any user who wishes to use unsupported fields may use this aggregate property to parse out the desired data either via our OFXAggregate control or any other means.

Note: The original data from the server is returned as SGML or XML (depending on the value of OFXVersion that FI supports. If the original data is returned in SGML format, the control internally manipulates these responses into the equivalent XML format by inserting close element tags (e.g., "</ACCTID>") into the data as it comes from the server.

When the SynchronizePayees is called, the SyncPayees event is fired for each payee in the payee list. Among other payee data returned through this event's parameters, there is also a PayeeAggregate parameter.

When sending a payment request (by calling PayBill) to an existing payee in the list returned via the payee synchronization request, and when the SyncPayeeId is unknown or not assigned, instead of setting all payee's properties, the user can set the SyncPayeeAggregate to the value of PayeeAggregate returned for that payee from the SyncPayees event. When the SyncPayeeAggregate is set to this value, all payee's properties are populated with the corresponding values in the aggregate.

Aggregates are pieces of XML taken from the financial institution's original response. They contain elements that correspond to many of the control's properties. However, some of these elements, and/or their potential values, may not be supported by the control. Any user who wishes to use unsupported fields may use this aggregate property to parse out the desired data either via our OFXAggregate control or any other means.

Note: The original data from the server is returned as SGML or XML (depending on the value of OFXVersion that FI supports. If the original data is returned in SGML format, the control internally manipulates these responses into the equivalent XML format by inserting close element tags (e.g., "</ACCTID>") into the data as it comes from the server.

String

SyncPaymentPayeeAccount Property (BillPayment Control)

User's account number with the payee this payment was sent to.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SyncPaymentPayeeAccount(SyncPaymentIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

User's account number with the payee this payment was sent to.

This string uniquely identifies the customer in the payee (biller) system.

The SyncPaymentIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SyncPaymentCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

SyncPaymentPayeeAggregate Property (BillPayment Control)

Wrapper for the payee details this payment was sent to.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SyncPaymentPayeeAggregate(SyncPaymentIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Wrapper for the payee details this payment was sent to.

This string consists of these payee's data: name, address, city, state, country, postal code, country and phone.

When the SynchronizePayments is called, the SyncPayments event is fired for each payment in the payment list. Among other payment data returned through this event's parameters, there is also a PayeeAggregate parameter.

Aggregates are pieces of XML taken from the financial institution's original response. They contain elements that correspond to many of the control's properties. However, some of these elements, and/or their potential values, may not be supported by the control. Any user who wishes to use unsupported fields may use this aggregate property to parse out the desired data either via our OFXAggregate control or any other means.

Note: The original data from the server is returned as SGML or XML (depending on the value of OFXVersion that FI supports. If the original data is returned in SGML format, the control internally manipulates these responses into the equivalent XML format by inserting close element tags (e.g., "</ACCTID>") into the data as it comes from the server.

The SyncPaymentIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SyncPaymentCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

SyncPaymentPayeeId Property (BillPayment Control)

Server-assigned identifier to the payee this payment was sent to.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SyncPaymentPayeeId(SyncPaymentIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Server-assigned identifier to the payee this payment was sent to.

The SyncPaymentPayeeId is assigned by the payment system to a payee. There is no requirement though that all or any payees are assigned an identifier. This string uniquely identifies the payee in the list of payees.

Either SyncPaymentPayeeAggregate or SyncPaymentPayeeId can be returned in the response, but not both.

The SyncPaymentIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SyncPaymentCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

SyncPaymentPayeeListId Property (BillPayment Control)

Server-assigned payee list record ID for the payee this payment was sent to.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SyncPaymentPayeeListId(SyncPaymentIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Server-assigned payee list record ID for the payee this payment was sent to.

This is uniquely assigned by the server to each entry in a payee list. In systems that do not assign a SyncPaymentPayeeId, the SyncPaymentPayeeListId is another identifier that can be used to reference every payee making sure that the user can correctly link payments to their payees. This identifier is valid as long as the user's payee list includes the payee it identifies, even if the server assigns a SyncPaymentPayeeId to this payee.

This is assigned by the server to that payee when an add payee request (via AddPayee method) or bill payment request (via PayBill method) has been sent.

The SyncPaymentIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SyncPaymentCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

SyncPaymentStatus Property (BillPayment Control)

Payment processing status.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SyncPaymentStatus(SyncPaymentIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Payment processing status.

The possible values of this property are as follows:

The SyncPaymentIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SyncPaymentCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

SyncPaymentTxType Property (BillPayment Control)

Transaction type performed on the payment being synchronized.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SyncPaymentTxType(SyncPaymentIndex)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Transaction type performed on the payment being synchronized.

This is applicable to payment synchronization requests only. Possible values and their meanings are as follows:

The SyncPaymentIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the SyncPaymentCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Timeout Property (BillPayment Control)

A timeout for the control.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.Timeout[=integer]

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The control will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

AddPayee Method (BillPayment Control)

Add a payee to server's payee list.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.AddPayee 

Remarks

This function generates the Signon and Add Payee request, submits it to the financial institution via HTTP, receives the response, and parses it.

The following properties can be set when this method is called:

Upon a successful reply, the following read-only properties are populated as a result of parsing the server response:

CancelPayment Method (BillPayment Control)

Cancels a scheduled bill payment.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.CancelPayment PaymentId

Remarks

This function generates the Signon and Payment Cancellation request page, submits it to the financial institution via secure HTTP Post, receives the response, and parses it.

The PaymentId parameter identifies the payment to be canceled. This is the id assigned and returned by the server at the time the payment was scheduled (that was stored in PaymentId).

The following properties should be set when this method is called:

Upon successful response, the server will return the PaymentId which echoes the PaymentId.

Config Method (BillPayment Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DeletePayee Method (BillPayment Control)

Deletes a payee identified by ListId from the server payee list.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.DeletePayee ListId

Remarks

This function generates the Signon and Delete Payee request page, submits it to the financial institution via secure HTTP Post, receives the response, and parses it.

The ListId parameter identifies the payee to be deleted. This is the id returned by the server at the time the payee was added to the payee list (that was stored in PayeeListId).

The following properties should be set when this method is called:

Upon successful response, the server will return the PayeeListId that echoes the ListId input parameter.

GetStatus Method (BillPayment Control)

Obtains the current processing status of a payment.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.GetStatus PaymentId

Remarks

The PaymentId parameter identifies the payment you want to obtain the status for. This is the id returned by the server at the time the payment was scheduled (that was stored in PaymentId).

The following properties should be set when this method is called:

Upon successful response, the server will return the following:

ModifyPayee Method (BillPayment Control)

Modifies a payee identified by ListId that already exists in the payee list.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.ModifyPayee PayeeListId

Remarks

This function generates the Signon and Payee Modification request, submits it to the financial institution via secure HTTP Post, receives the response, and parses it.

When modifying a payee by calling the ModifyPayee method, the user must specify the changed and unchanged payee information (i.e., all the properties that were specified when the payee was first added to the server list).

The ListId parameter identifies the payee to be modified. This is the id returned by the server at the time the payee was added to the payee list.

The response normally just echoes the values passed in the request. However, when a change had already occurred in the server to the payee information (for example a change in the payee's lead time, indicated by PayeeDaysToPay), the response will include this information as well.

If the response indicates either that a payee now has a payee ID (a non-empty PayeeId is returned in the response) or no longer has one (an empty PayeeId is returned), then the user now becomes aware that this ID cannot be used as an appropriate form of designating the payee in any future payment requests to that payee.

ModifyPayment Method (BillPayment Control)

Modifies a scheduled payment.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.ModifyPayment PaymentId

Remarks

This function generates the Signon and Payment Modification request page, submits it to the financial institution via secure HTTP Post, receives the response, and parses it.

The PaymentId parameter identifies the targeted payment to be modified. This is the id assigned and returned by the server at the time the payment was scheduled (that was stored in PaymentId).

Between the time the client schedules a payment and the time the server processes the payment, the client may request changes (if the server allows it) to certain parameters of that payment. For example, the PaymentAmount or PaymentDateDue of the payment can be modified. This can be done by calling the ModifyPayment method. The request must specify the full contents of the payment request, including both modified and unmodified data.

The user should provide all the fields that were specified when the payment to be modified was created (when the PayBill method was called) and the PayeeListId if this was assigned. All data can be modified except the PayeeName and PayeeId.

The response normally just echoes the values passed in the request. However, if the status of a scheduled payment changes in any way, the user should expect to receive modification responses when synchronizing with the server by calling Synchronize method. For example, when a server completes a payment, the status of the payment goes from pending to posted. This status change will be included in the server response.

Please check your FI profile to see if they provide this service (bill payment modification).

PayBill Method (BillPayment Control)

Pays a bill to a given payee.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.PayBill 

Remarks

This function generates the Signon and Bill Payment request page, submits it to the financial institution via HTTP, receives the response, and parses it.

The following properties can be set when this method is called:

Payee information can be provided in the request by either setting each Payee property, or by setting the PayeeAggregate property, the value of which can be retrieved after submitting a payee synchronization request (by calling the SynchronizePayees method).

Even when PayeeAggregate property has been set, the user can still set any payee field to values different from the ones that are populated via PayeeAggregate. When this happens, the server will consider this payment request as payee modification request as well. As result, that payee will be modified in the payment system accordingly.

Upon a successful reply, the following read-only properties are populated as a result of parsing the server response:

Reset Method (BillPayment Control)

Reset the internal state of the control and all properties to their default values.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.Reset 

Remarks

The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.

SynchronizePayees Method (BillPayment Control)

Synchronizes payees on the client side with payees on record on the server side.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SynchronizePayees Token

Remarks

Users of OFX Payments need to be able to obtain the current list of payees stored on the server that is configured for use in payments. In a "pay some" system, users are sometimes required to explicitly configure the payees to whom the system will make payments. This can be done by means of a telephone call to the payments provider or through other methods such as AddPayee or PayBill. It is only necessary to enter each payee once. In other systems, the payments provider can elect to store a list of all payees that the user has paid. This is a convenience to the client. It allows payees set up on one client to be accessible from a user's other clients. In this case, payee list synchronization provides a way for the payee to become accessible to the client software when the FI completes the setup.

The list can contain payees with or without payee IDs. An important function of the payee list is to communicate payee changes from the server to the client. This includes changes in processing date parameters and conversion of a payee to a standard payee.

Once added to the list, the payment system makes payments by the payee list ID. This makes it clear to a client when the user is adding to a payee list, and when he or she modifies an existing payee on the list. Although the messages make it clear whether a client is trying to add a new payee, a careful server will check for exact matches on payee adds and not create new payee list entries unnecessarily.

"Pay-any" systems can perform background processing that matches billing addresses with standard payees. When this occurs the server can update the relevant payee lists, and update the clients when they synchronize with the modified list data. Each payee entry in the list can also include a list of the user's accounts with that payee. This further reduces the data entry required by a user to make a payment, and facilitates the implementation of lightweight clients.

In order to accomplish these tasks, the user has to submit a synchronization request by calling SynchronizePayees method to insure that it has an accurate copy of the server data that is relevant to the client application. The intent of this request is to address the following scenarios in which the client might lose synchronization with the server:

• Payees relevant to the client's application state have been added, deleted, or modified by a second client. For example, a user might enter or change payees from more than one PC or application.
• A communications session between the client and server was interrupted or completed abnormally. As a result, the client does not have responses from the server indicating that all the payees were received and processed.

If this request is submitted for the first time to the server, the Token parameter has to be 0. In this case, servers should send all available history, allowing a new client (for example) to know about work done by other clients. If a user's account has never been used with OFX, the server returns no history.

Unless the synchronization is a refresh request (see below), in all subsequent requests, this has to be the previous value of Token this method returned (i.e., received for this type of synchronization request from the server). This will serve as the user's own endpoint. When the server supplies a response, it supplies a new endpoint (Token) as well. A token needs to be unique only within payments for the specified account.

A brand new client, or a client that lost synchronization, might want to learn about mot recent payee list by submitting a payee synchronization refresh (i.e., wants a set of changes, rather than asking the server to send everything it knows).

A client can request a refresh of current state by calling the SynchronizePayees method, where Token parameter is set to REFRESH (not case sensitive). The response will reflect the current state. For example, if you create a payee and then modify it three times, even if this history would have been available for a regular synchronization, on a synchronization refresh request the servers should only send a single add that reflects the current state.

If the response contains a list of payees, then the SyncPayees property will be populated and SyncPayees event will be fired for each payee. A single payee has a single PayeeId and/or PayeeListId, but it can undergo several state changes over its life and thus might have several entries in the token history.

SynchronizePayments Method (BillPayment Control)

Synchronizes bills paid on the client side with paid bills on record on the server side.

Syntax

billpaymentcontrol.SynchronizePayments Token

Remarks

The bill payment synchronization request (as all other bill payment requests: add, modify, cancel) is applicable for bank accounts only and not for the credit card accounts.

Users of OFX Payments need to be able to obtain the current status of transactions previously sent to the server for processing. For example, once the user schedules a payment and the payment date has passed, the user might want to verify that the server made the payment as directed. Additionally, OFX allows for interactions with the server through multiple clients. This means, for example, that the user can perform some transactions from a home PC and others from an office computer with each session incorporating the activities performed on the other. In order to accomplish these tasks, the user has to submit a synchronization request by calling SynchronizePayments method to insure that it has an accurate copy of the server data that is relevant to the client application. The intent of this request is to address three scenarios in which the client might lose synchronization with the server:

• A transaction has changed its state based on processing actions on the server. For example, a scheduled payment has passed its due date and has been paid or rejected.
• Transactions relevant to the client's application state have been added, deleted, or modified by a second client. For example, a user might enter or change transactions from more than one PC or application.
• A communications session between the client and server was interrupted or completed abnormally. As a result the client does not have responses from the server indicating that all the transactions were received and processed.

If this request is submitted for the first time to the server, the Token parameter has to be 0. In this case, servers should send all available history, allowing a new client (for example) to know about work done by other clients. If a user's account has never been used with OFX, the server returns no history.

Unless the synchronization is a refresh request (see below), in all subsequent requests, this has to be the previous value of Token this method returned (i.e., received for this type of synchronization request from the server). This will serve as the user's own endpoint. When the server supplies a response, it supplies a new endpoint (Token) as well. A token needs to be unique only within payments for the specified account.

A brand new client, or a client that lost synchronization, might want to learn about in-progress payments by submitting a synchronization refresh of the payment requests (i.e., wants a set of changes, rather than asking the server to send everything it knows). It would almost certainly want to do a synchronization refresh of the recurring payment models, because these often live for months or years.

A client can request a refresh of current state by calling the SynchronizePayments where Token parameter is set to REFRESH (not case sensitive). The response will reflect the current state. For example, if you create a payment and then modify it three times, even if this history would have been available for a regular synchronization, on a synchronization refresh request the servers should only send a single add that reflects the current state.

The following properties have to be set when this method is called:

Upon a successful reply, if the response contains payment aggregates, then the SyncPayments property will be populated and SyncPayments event will be fired for each payment transaction. A single payment has a single PaymentId, but it can undergo several state changes over its life and thus might have several entries in the token history.

ConnectionStatus Event (BillPayment Control)

This event is fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

Syntax

Sub billpaymentcontrol_ConnectionStatus(ConnectionEvent As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The ConnectionStatus event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Error Event (BillPayment Control)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub billpaymentcontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (BillPayment Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub billpaymentcontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (BillPayment Control)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

Sub billpaymentcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

• PayeeAggregate contains the complete aggregate for a payee.
• PayeeTxType indicates the payee transaction type, if this is added, modified or deleted (possible values: ADDED, MODIFIED, DELETED).
• PayeeId contains the server-assigned id of a payee.
• PayeeIdScope contains Scope of a payee ID in the payee list (GLOBAL, USER), where GLOBAL = payee ID valid across the entire payment system USER = payee ID valid with all FI accounts set up for the user's payments account.
• PayeeListId contains the list record id of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeAccount contains the account the user has with a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeName contains the name of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeAddr1 contains the street address (line 1) of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeAddr2 contains the address line 2 of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeAddr3 contains the address line 3 of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeCity contains the city name of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeState contains the state name of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeePostalCode contains the postal code of a payee in the payee list.
• PayeeCountry contains the country name of a payee in the payee list.

• PaymentId contains the server id of a transaction in the list of payment transactions (if any) returned in the synchronization response.
• PayeeId contains the id of the payee the payment has been sent to.
• PayeeListId contains the list id of the payee the payment has been sent to.
• PayeeAccount contains the account the user has with the payee the payment has been sent to.
• PayeeAggregate contains the info aggregate (name and address details) of the payee the payment has been sent to.
• PaymentAmount contains the amount of a payment transaction.
• FromAccountId contains the account number a payment has been sent from.
