Connect: Optimized for high-volume peer-to-peer transfers.
Fifth Third Direct HTTPS: Secure data transmission via HTTPS.
File Encryption: PGP encryption for secure file transmission.

Implementation Steps

The implementation process includes:

Data Gathering/Requirements: Configure your product or service.
Data Transmission Setup and Testing: Establish and test connectivity with Fifth Third Bank.
Development/Configuration: Configure product requirements.
Connectivity Testing: Validate customer-bank connectivity.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Test production files for accuracy.
Production: Move the project to production.
Post-Production Review: Final review and handoff to Commercial Services.

2. Authentication & Security

API Credentials

Program UID and HMAC Key provided by Newline
Required for token generation

Authentication Flow
Use POST /auth to obtain and refresh access tokens, which are used to authenticate API requests securely.
For more information on token generation and credential setup, refer to the Authentication Guide for Sandbox and Production.

3. Payment Rails

Payment rails are the infrastructure used to support different types. Newline supports multiple payment types.

For more information and detailed steps, please refer to the Payment Rails Setup resource.

4. Testing & UAT

Newline provides a Sandbox environment for testing. For detailed testing instructions, including how to simulate failures and validate flows, refer to the Testing Scenarios Guide.
