Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Interac e-Transfer API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The J.P. Morgan Interac e-Transfer API enables businesses to initiate 24/7 domestic CAD payments in Canada via email, phone number, or bank account. It provides a single endpoint for submitting real-time Interac e-Transfer payment requests through J.P. Morgan's treasury services platform, supporting automated disbursements to Canadian recipients without branch visits or cheque processing.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Interac e-Transfer API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Interac e-Transfer API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fpayments.jpmorgan.com%2Fpayments-jpmorgan" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fpayments.jpmorgan.com%2Fpayments-jpmorgan" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Interac e-Transfer API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Automated Vendor Disbursements
Automate payments to Canadian vendors and suppliers using Interac e-Transfer instead of cheques or wire transfers. The API accepts recipient identification by email, phone, or account number and processes the payment in real-time through J.P. Morgan's treasury infrastructure. This eliminates manual payment runs and enables same-day settlement for domestic CAD obligations.
Initiate an Interac e-Transfer of 5,000.00 CAD to vendor@supplier.ca via POST /tsapi/v1/payments with payment type as e-Transfer and recipient email
Customer Refund Processing
Issue refunds to Canadian customers via Interac e-Transfer for immediate availability. Rather than reversing card transactions which take days, businesses can send funds directly to a customer's email or phone number. The customer deposits the transfer through their banking app instantly, improving satisfaction and reducing support overhead.
Submit a refund of 149.99 CAD to customer@email.com via POST /tsapi/v1/payments with memo field indicating order reference number
AI Agent Canadian Payment Initiation via Jentic
AI agents use Jentic to initiate Interac e-Transfer payments without managing OAuth bearer tokens or constructing J.P. Morgan treasury API request payloads manually. Jentic stores credentials securely and provides the operation schema so agents can send CAD payments by specifying recipient and amount.
Search Jentic for 'send an Interac e-Transfer payment', load the operation schema, and execute it to send 250.00 CAD to a recipient email address

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the J.P. Morgan Interac e-Transfer API by hand means handling its bearer auth and building the domestic CAD payment payload yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Interac e-Transfer API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Interac e-Transfer API carries the payment details in the request body, so scope your agent to the operations it needs, such as initiating a CAD transfer. You choose the operations it may call, so no operation runs beyond the set you allow.
Credential isolation
Your J.P. Morgan bearer token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'send a CAD payment to Canada', and Jentic returns the Interac e-Transfer operation with its input schema including recipient type, amount, and currency so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Interac e-Transfer API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Interac e-Transfer API?
J.P. Morgan does not publish an OpenAPI specification for the Interac e-Transfer API. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call it via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.
What authentication does the Interac e-Transfer API use?
The API uses OAuth 2.0 bearer token authentication. You obtain a token through J.P. Morgan's identity service and include it in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, the OAuth credentials and token refresh are handled automatically in your Jentic One instance.
Can I send payments 24/7 with the Interac e-Transfer API?
Yes. Interac e-Transfer operates 24/7/365 for domestic Canadian dollar payments. Unlike wire transfers or ACH which have banking-hour restrictions, e-Transfers process in real-time regardless of time or day. Recipients can deposit funds immediately through their banking app.
What recipient identification methods are supported?
The API supports three recipient identification methods: email address, phone number, or direct bank account details. Email and phone-based transfers require the recipient to accept and deposit the funds. Bank account-based transfers route directly to the specified account without recipient action.
How do I initiate an e-Transfer payment through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'send an Interac e-Transfer' to find the POST /tsapi/v1/payments operation. Jentic returns the input schema showing required fields like amount, currency (CAD), recipient email or phone, and payment type. Execute through Jentic and the payment is submitted to J.P. Morgan's treasury platform. Install with pip install jentic.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Interac e-Transfer API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which operations and credentials your agent may use, so no call runs beyond the set you allow. The Interac e-Transfer API exposes a single payment operation, POST /tsapi/v1/payments for initiating a CAD transfer, and you can grant your agent only that operation while withholding your J.P. Morgan bearer token from its prompt and logs. Since the payment details ride in the request body, your own rules govern exactly which recipients and amounts the agent can submit.
