Paragon Bank Payment Initiation API (OBIE standard, unverified) is one of 4 APIs that [Paragon Bank](https://apis.io/providers/paragon-bank/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Payment Initiation, Payments, PIS, and FAPI. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

The OBIE Read/Write Payment Initiation (PIS) API standard - FAPI-secured initiation of domestic, scheduled, standing-order, international, and file payments on behalf of a customer with PSD2 strong customer authentication. Captured here as the shared OBIE standard specification, not a Paragon-hosted contract; no Paragon PIS endpoint was confirmed and Paragon does not document payment-initiation services.
