Bridging Spreadsheet Payment Batches into SIX bLink Open Banking JSON APIs
Business Use Case & Requirements
Financial institutions, corporate treasuries, and fintech builders receiving batch payment rows in CSV or Excel formats need an automated translation engine to compile spreadsheet records into official Swiss Open Banking bLink submission JSON payloads via SFTP, API, email, or Google Drive.
Technical Architecture & Pipeline Execution
The translation engine ingests incoming semicolon or comma-delimited spreadsheet rows, normalizes multi-language column aliases, validates debtor and creditor IBAN checksums, and renders compliant JSON payment payloads using outbound template definitions.

Standards & Compliance Highlights
- Open Banking payment initiation APIs in Switzerland rely on standardized JSON structures managed by SIX bLink to securely transmit payment orders to participating financial institutions.
- Spreadsheet normalization ensures that unstructured remittance strings and execution dates conform strictly to REST API schema requirements.
- Automated multichannel ingestion (SFTP, API, email, Google Drive) bridges traditional file-based workflows with real-time banking infrastructure.
Industry Comparison & Perspective
Unlike manual JSON formatting or fragile custom Python scripts, this engine offers declarative CSV-to-JSON outbound templating across SFTP, API, email, and Google Drive.
