  description: "iBanFirst API for cross-border payments, FX trades, account management, beneficiaries, and webhooks.\n\n**Try it out in Postman:** [View Postman Collection](https://www.postman.com/productibf/ibanfirst-rest-api-workspace/collection/d24hl8d/ibanfirst-rest-api?action=share&creator=44872188)\n\n---\n\n## Authentication — X-WSSE\n\nEvery request must include an `X-WSSE` header. Plain HTTP calls will fail. The token is **stateless and expires after ~5 minutes**, so it must be computed fresh for each request.\n\n### Header format\n\n```\nX-WSSE: UsernameToken Username=\"<username>\", PasswordDigest=\"<digest>\", Nonce=\"<nonce_b64>\", Created=\"<timestamp>\"\n```\n\n### Fields\n\n| Field | Description |\n|---|---|\n| `Username` | The username assigned during onboarding. |\n| `Nonce` | A Base64-encoded random hex string (≥ 32 hex characters). |\n| `Created` | Current UTC timestamp in ISO 8601: `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`. |\n| `PasswordDigest` | `Base64( SHA-1( nonce_bytes ∥ created_bytes ∥ secret_bytes ) )` — SHA-1 **binary** digest, then Base64. |\n\n### Algorithm (step-by-step)\n\n1. Generate a random nonce: at least 32 lowercase hexadecimal characters (e.g. `d36e3162829ed4c89851497a717f0001`).\n2. Get the current UTC timestamp as an ISO-8601 string (e.g. `2026-05-12T10:30:00Z`).\n3. Encode the nonce string as UTF-8 bytes, the timestamp as UTF-8 bytes, and the API secret as UTF-8 bytes.\n4. Compute `SHA-1( nonce_bytes + created_bytes + secret_bytes )`. The hash **must** be the raw binary digest (not hex).\n5. `PasswordDigest` = `Base64( sha1_binary_digest )`\n6. `Nonce` = `Base64( nonce_utf8_bytes )`\n\n### Code samples\n\n**Python**\n```python\nimport base64, hashlib, os, binascii\nfrom datetime import datetime, timezone\n\ndef generate_xwsse(username: str, secret: str) -> str:\n    nonce = binascii.b2a_hex(os.urandom(16))          # 32 hex bytes\n    created = datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime(\"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ\")\n    digest = base64.b64encode(\n        hashlib.sha1(nonce + created.encode() + secret.encode()).digest()\n    ).decode()\n    nonce_b64 = base64.b64encode(nonce).decode()\n    return f'UsernameToken Username=\"{username}\", PasswordDigest=\"{digest}\", Nonce=\"{nonce_b64}\", Created=\"{created}\"'\n```\n\n**JavaScript (Node.js)**\n```javascript\nconst crypto = require('crypto');\nfunction generateXWSSE(username, secret) {\n    const nonce = crypto.randomBytes(16);\n    const created = new Date().toISOString();\n    const digest = crypto.createHash('sha1')\n        .update(nonce)\n        .update(Buffer.from(created))\n        .update(Buffer.from(secret))\n        .digest('base64');\n    return `UsernameToken Username=\"${username}\", PasswordDigest=\"${digest}\", Nonce=\"${nonce.toString('base64')}\", Created=\"${created}\"`;\n}\n```\n\n**PHP**\n```php\nfunction generateXWSSE(string $username, string $secret): string {\n    $nonce = bin2hex(random_bytes(16));          // 32 hex chars\n    $created = gmdate('Y-m-d\\TH:i:s\\Z');\n    $digest = base64_encode(sha1($nonce . $created . $secret, true));\n    return sprintf('UsernameToken Username=\"%s\", PasswordDigest=\"%s\", Nonce=\"%s\", Created=\"%s\"',\n        $username, $digest, base64_encode($nonce), $created);\n}\n```\n\n### Environments\n\n| Environment | Base URL |\n|---|---|\n| Demo (testing) | `https://api-demo.ibanfirst.com/api` |\n| Live (production) | `https://api.ibanfirst.com/api` |\n\n### Forbidden characters in input fields\n\nThe following characters are rejected in route parameters, query parameters, and JSON bodies: `&` `<` `>` `%` `?` `\\` `/` `|`"

  description: 'The API provides a deliverable FX facility and deliverable FX liquidity. You will become counterparty to iBanFirst and can market and sell deliverable FX services to corporate and private clients as well as using such services on their behalf.


    FX trades are always made between two accounts of a unique counterparty. iBanFirst will automatically debit the source account and credit the delivery account at the date specified in the FX trade instructions. If the delivery date has been scheduled, the delivery is automatically processed in the morning before 00:30 am Paris time. If the delivery date is today (TOD), the funds is available on your account by the next 20mn.


    A FX trades also involves an amount, which includes both the numeric amount and the currency in order to define if this amount is the nominal to be bought or sold, for example: ''100000.00+GBP''.

      description: 'X-WSSE token-based authentication. The header value must be computed fresh for every request (tokens expire in ~5 minutes).


        Header value format:

        ```

        UsernameToken Username="<username>", PasswordDigest="<digest>", Nonce="<nonce_b64>", Created="<timestamp>"

        ```


        Algorithm:

        1. Generate a random nonce: ≥ 32 lowercase hex characters.

        2. Get current UTC timestamp in ISO 8601: `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`.

        3. Compute `PasswordDigest = Base64( SHA-1( nonce_bytes + created_bytes + secret_bytes ) )` — SHA-1 over the raw UTF-8 bytes concatenated in that order, result must be the binary digest before Base64 encoding.

        4. Compute `Nonce = Base64( nonce_utf8_bytes )`.
