Providers

What a customer can connect, and what each one can do.

A provider is one account a customer connects: a bank, a corporate card platform, a crypto account, a shopping wallet. Your app declares which providers it integrates when you register it, and the consent page offers at most those.

Several providers connected by one customer make up their Wallet.

What can be connected

Provider	What it can do
Durango	ACH and wire payments, and transfers. The demo bank: nothing here is money.
Brex	ACH and wire payments to vendors from the corporate account, and transfers between its own accounts.
Narmi	ACH and wire payments from the bank account, and transfers between its own accounts.
Banno	Same as Narmi.
Apiture	Same as Narmi.
Coinbase	USDC and crypto payouts, buying crypto with the account’s own USD or USDC, moves between the customer’s own balances, and withdrawals to a bank they own. No vendor ACH, no wires.
Link	One-time virtual cards for merchant purchases through the customer’s Link wallet. Shopping only, no payments to payees.

Capability is the provider’s, not Payman’s. Do not rule a request out in your prompt because it sounds like it belongs to a different kind of institution. Call the tool and let the answer say.

How a customer connects one

Provider	On the consent page
Durango, Brex, Narmi, Banno, Apiture	Paste a token from the institution.
Coinbase	Paste a CDP API key.
Link	A button. Nothing to paste.

Whatever it is, it goes in on Payman’s own pages. Your app never sees it.

Naming one in an instruction

Saying the provider routes the turn to it: “pay Acme from Brex”, “send $50 with my Coinbase”, “buy it with my Link wallet”. Payman matches whole words, so “LinkedIn” and a pasted URL never count as Link.

You can also name it outside the sentence, with the provider option on run(). See the Wallet.

Sandbox and live

Durango is the only sandbox provider. A sandbox app offers Durango and nothing else. Every other provider is live.

Coinbase has no sandbox anywhere. Coinbase does not offer a customer-facing test environment, so a Coinbase connection moves real money the first time it is used. There is no safe version of it to try.
