(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) RESTON, Va., Dec. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Financial Data Exchange (FDX) has announced its Fall release of FDX API 6.0. Among other things, this version of the API includes extended fraud notification, more options for payment network data, updates to tax documentation, corporate/treasury support, and the first payroll data structures. An updated and more concise version of the security Control Considerations document is a major addition to the API, as well as the incorporation of the FAPI security schema.

“The amount and pace of innovation from our members continues to amaze. It is a testament to the impact of all members, big and small, have on the specs,” said Don Cardinal, FDX Managing Director.
