FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is IPI?

UAE Instant Payments Infrastructure — real-time AED payouts up to AED 50k.

How fast is IPI?

Real-time. Actual settlement time is disclosed pre-approval and confirmed by signed webhook once the beneficiary bank acknowledges the credit.

Which countries can I reach through IPI?

AE. Availability is beneficiary-bank-dependent; the router falls back to wire if the beneficiary bank is not on IPI.

What currencies are supported on IPI?

AED is the primary settlement currency for IPI. Multi-currency corridors are supported where the rail permits.

What limits apply on IPI?

Rail-specific ceilings apply; the platform surfaces them pre-approval. Higher-value transactions are automatically routed to wire.

Is IPI available 24/7?

Real-time rails (including IPI) operate around the clock. Batch and wire rails follow the local banking window.

How do I integrate IPI?

You don’t. KeyBS Pay abstracts rail selection: submit a payout to POST /v1/payouts and the router picks the fastest eligible rail. Use "method": "auto" (default) or force a specific method where policy requires.

Is IPI regulated?

Yes. KeyBS Pay routes IPI payouts only through partners licensed for the destination corridor.

Can I get a IPI settlement report?

Yes. Per-rail, per-corridor reconciliation reports are available in the dashboard and via API export.

What happens if a IPI payout fails?

Failed payouts return a signed webhook event with a machine-readable reason code. Funds remain in the source ledger and can be re-routed or refunded.

How is pricing set for IPI?

Quote-based, disclosed in full pre-approval. No undisclosed intermediary-bank deductions on eligible local rails.

Can I use IPI for consumer payouts?

Yes, where the beneficiary and route policy permit consumer flows. Stablecoin routes are business-only.

Are there cutoffs on IPI?

Real-time rails have no cutoffs. Batch and wire rails follow local banking-day windows; cutoffs are shown at quote time.

Does IPI support idempotent retries?

Yes. Every KeyBS Pay payout carries an Idempotency-Key so retries after transient errors are safe.

Which industries use IPI most?

Marketplaces, cross-border trade, workforce and NGO programs are the largest users of IPI on the KeyBS Pay platform.
