Payment statuses

What are Payment statuses?

When you send a payment through Atlar, it goes through a few stages—like being created, sent, and eventually completed or failed. Payment statuses help you track where your payment is in that journey. Atlar gives you clear, real-time updates so you always know what’s happening and can act quickly if something needs attention.

Payment statuses

Use the below table and diagram for guidance of how Payments (credit-transfers as well as direct-debits) transitions through various states.

StateDescription
CREATEDThe payment has been created and is pending approval.
REJECTEDThe payment has been rejected by the customer.
APPROVEDThe payment has been approved by the customer.
PENDING_SUBMISSIONAtlar is submitting the payment to the bank. It cannot be edited at this point.
SENTThe payment has been sent to the bank.
PENDING_AT_BANKThe payment is stuck in a pending state at the bank. It can for instance be related to insufficient funds or if bank-side signature has been configured.

(Direct-Debit) Mandate statuses

Use the below diagram and table for guidance of how Mandates transitions through various states.

CANCELLATION_SENTThe cancellation of the mandate has been sent to the bank.
