Quick Answers
What is BBPS and what does it cover?
BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment System) is NPCI's standardised bill payment network with 20,000+ registered billers spanning electricity, gas, water, telecom, DTH, insurance, education, and municipal services — enabling one-stop bill payment for consumers and businesses alike.
How does BBPS API integration work?
BBPS API integration involves two sequential REST calls: Bill Fetch (retrieve current due amount using the customer's consumer number) and Bill Payment (debit the customer and confirm payment to the biller). Each transaction receives a unique BBPS transaction reference number for traceability.
Is NxtBanking RBI-compliant for payment APIs?
Yes. NxtBanking operates through RBI-licensed partner banks for all payment services (IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, UPI) and is NPCI-certified for BBPS, AEPS, and UPI flows. All APIs follow RBI's Master Directions on payment aggregators, KYC, and PMLA obligations. We maintain audit logs, data localisation, and consent frameworks compliant with the DPDP Act 2023.
How does NxtBanking handle API downtime and failover?
NxtBanking uses a connected-banking architecture that links a single API credential to multiple RBI-licensed partner banks. When one bank's rails experience degradation or maintenance, the API automatically routes to the next available bank — with no code change required on the client side. This multi-bank failover is what delivers 99%+ transaction success rates and 99.9% API uptime SLA for enterprise clients.
What does it cost to integrate NxtBanking APIs?
NxtBanking offers pay-as-you-go pricing with no setup fees and no minimum commitment for most APIs. Typical pricing: IMPS/UPI payout ₹3–₹8 per transaction, NEFT ₹1–₹3, BBPS bill payment ₹0.50–₹3, AEPS cash withdrawal ₹2–₹5. Enterprise clients on committed volumes negotiate flat-rate pricing. Sandbox access is free and unlimited. Contact sales for a custom quote based on your expected transaction volume.
