Telleroo

Telleroo is a UK bulk payments platform that automates supplier and payroll payments for businesses, accountants and bookkeepers. It provisions a ring-fenced e-money wallet in the customer's name and sends bulk Faster Payments 24/7 (including bank holidays), plus international payments in 25+ currencies over SEPA, ACH and SWIFT. Built-in fraud controls include Confirmation of Payee, new/updated payee alerts and multi-level approval workflows, and it integrates with accounting and payroll software such as Xero, QuickBooks, Employment Hero and Staffology. Telleroo exposes two RESTful APIs: a Business API (v1, token auth) for automating outbound payments from your own account, and a Partner/Embedded Payments API (v3, OAuth 2.0) for building pay runs into your own platform on behalf of client companies. Both support idempotent requests, real-time webhooks and a dedicated sandbox environment.

Telleroo publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Payments, Bulk Payments, Payroll, and Faster Payments.

The Telleroo catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Telleroo’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.
