Overview

The Grand Central Alacriti connector provides a standardized bridge between your core banking applications and the Alacriti payment platform. By abstracting the complexity of US payment schemes, it allows you to orchestrate real-time processing and settlement through a single integration point.

Key capabilities

  • Multi-rail support: Unified access to Fedwire, FedNow, and RTP (Real-Time Payments).
  • End-to-end lifecycle: Manage everything from initiation and fee retrieval to cancellations and asynchronous status updates.
  • Compliance ready: The connector transforms Grand Central Unified API payloads into rail-specific, processor-compatible instructions automatically.

Supported rails and use cases

The connector supports the following operations across the primary US payment networks.
  • Standard payments: One-time and recurring credit transfers.
  • Lifecycle management: Real-time modification and cancellation of pending instructions.
  • Inquiry: Real-time status updates and pre-computation of payment fees.

Unified API endpoints

The Alacriti connector implements the following methods from the Grand Central Unified API Specification:
