Environments

You can interact with the Fortis Bank API using three environments:

  • Sandbox
  • QA
  • Production

Each environment serves a specific purpose and is available under certain conditions for API consumers.

Credentials

Credentials and endpoint URLs differ for each environment (clientId, clientSecret, mTLSSecret), but the authentication endpoint remains the same across all environments.

Isolated Data

Data cannot be transferred between Sandbox, QA and Production environments.

Sandbox​

This development environment allows unlimited API calls during implementation. It connects to a Fortis Bank Sandbox Core with limitations, meaning API calls do not affect live data.

Data

We advise against using real data in this environment.

QA​

This controlled environment allows testing with real data after implementation. It is connected to the Fortis Bank Production Core and Payment Platforms, so all testing must be agreed upon with Fortis in advance.

Production​

When you are ready to promote your project from QA to Production, you may initiate the review and approval process to go live and commercialize your project with Fortis. This environment handles real events, impacting accounting and metrics.
