Restrict Payments To A Social Security Number

Swedbank Pay provides the possibility to restrict payments to a Social Security Number when the payment methods support this. This can be used when you want to make sure you only accept payments from an already identified individual.

You do this by adding the field restrictedToSocialSecurityNumber in the payer field, in your payment order request, and setting it to true. This will leave out all payment methods which do not support this feature.

It will then use the socialSecurityNumber located in the nationalIdentifier field (found within the payer field). The nationalIdentifier must be included to use this feature. Payment methods supporting the feature will reject payments that do not match the restriction.

You are currently only able to restrict Swish and Trustly payments to a Social Security Number, but we will add support for more payment methods going forward. No changes are required at your (the merchant’s) end to be able to offer more payment methods at a later time.

The response will be similar to a standard payment order response, which is also documented on the page linked above.
