Hublio Payments — A Product by Hublio Research

One platform.
Every layer.
Under your brand.

Hublio Payments is a cloud-native, self-hosted, white-label payment platform — the back end, the operations console and the customer-facing app, delivered as one product. Two engines, two integration topologies, chosen per deployment. Paired with Hublio Pay, the mobile front-end your customers see.

01 — Platform overview
A product by Hublio Research

HublioPayments.

The cloud-native, self-hosted payment platform for banks, fintechs and brands.

A B2B platform that you deploy in your own infrastructure — fast, modular, fully white-label. A unified API. One deployable codebase. Multiple payment rails, integrated under your control. Paired with Hublio Pay — our white-label mobile front-end — it's a complete experience from rail to screen.

Hublio Pay — branded Visa cards

02 — Standards & messaging

Native messages.
Two engines. One platform.

Hublio Payments handles regulated message formats two ways — and you choose the right one per corridor, per use case, per tenant. One platform, either engine, no semantic loss between them.

Engine 01 — Native

Pure-spec, end-to-end.

A native messaging engine built directly against the scheme rulebooks. We produce and receive scheme-compliant ISO 20022 messages for SEPA Instant — natively, end-to-end, with no translation layer. Schema-validated against the active XSD before anything touches the wire. Invalid messages never leave the platform.

The XML you see in your monitoring is the XML the scheme receives. Bidirectional, signed, replayable.

  • ISO 20022 native — pacs, pain and camt families
  • SEPA Instant via TIPS / RT1, end-to-end
  • Architected for SWIFT MX / CBPR+ — cross-border via Engine 02 in v1
  • Schema-validated at the source against the active XSD
  • Auditable, signed, replayable — original wire format preserved
Engine 02 — Service-Backed

Reach without the build-out.

For tenants without their own scheme authorisations, Hublio Payments routes through an integrated cross-border service model — extending reach to corridors that would otherwise require multiple banking relationships and licences.

Same API surface, same orchestration, same compliance posture as the native engine — just with the underlying connectivity provided as a managed service. You stay focused on the product; the infrastructure for cross-border reach is configured, not built.

  • Cross-border corridors without standing up new banking partners
  • Same Hublio API — engine choice is configuration, not migration
  • Authorisation scope sized per tenant during onboarding
  • Falls back gracefully where native rails aren't available

→ 01

Schema-validated at the source

Outbound messages validated against the active ISO 20022 XSD before they leave the platform. Invalid messages fail fast with structured errors — not at the CSM gateway.

→ 02

Versioned per rulebook

SEPA Instant and SWIFT CBPR+ rulebooks evolve at their own pace. Hublio tracks the active versions and routes the right schema per corridor — no manual mapping when a rev lands.

→ 03

Bidirectional, end-to-end

Inbound messages parsed, validated and reconciled against the ledger before any business logic fires. Status, recall, investigation — every direction handled natively.

→ 04

SIT & UAT-ready

Test harnesses, fixture libraries and reproducible scenarios ship with the platform — so SIT and UAT against scheme test environments is a configuration step, not a custom build.

→ 05

Auditable & signed

Every generated message is hashed, timestamped and stored. Reconciliation, regulator queries and dispute resolution work off the original wire format.

→ 06

Structured remittance preserved

The whole point of ISO 20022 is richer, structured data. Hublio preserves remittance fields, party identifiers and purpose codes end-to-end — so reconciliation, AML and reporting work off the original semantics, not a flattened summary.

03 — Integration topology

Two ways to plug into your bank.

Banks and EMIs already have core systems and, in many cases, payment engines they've invested years building. Hublio Pay doesn't ask you to choose between them and us. You decide where Hublio sits in your stack — at the edge, or layered on top.

Mode 01 — Hublio as the engine

Standalone payment engine, plugged into your core.

Hublio Pay runs as the payment engine itself — orchestration, routing, ledger, fraud and ISO 20022 messaging — and integrates with your core banking system over API for accounts, balances and posting.

For banks without an in-house payment engine, or those modernising legacy stacks one layer at a time. You keep your core; Hublio handles everything from instruction to settlement.

  • API integration with your core (Temenos, Mambu, Finastra, T24, proprietary)
  • Hublio owns orchestration, ledger, fraud, ISO 20022 messaging
  • Core banking remains the system of record for accounts
  • Posting, balance and statement APIs handled bidirectionally
Mode 02 — Hublio on top of yours

Layered above your existing payment engine.

For banks that already operate a payment engine, Hublio sits on top — handling orchestration, the experience layer, Request-to-Pay, VoP, instant flows and the customer-facing front-end — and routes through your engine for settlement.

For banks that have invested in their own payment infrastructure and want to modernise the surface without replacing the foundations. Your engine stays in charge of clearing; Hublio modernises everything around it.

Architectural neutrality

The choice between modes is configuration, not commitment — the same Hublio API, the same compliance posture, the same front-end. Topology is decided per tenant during onboarding.

04 — What's inside

A payments toolkit,
not a payments app.

Eight coordinated modules that work together as a product, or stand alone as capabilities you can plug into what you already have.

M.01

Payments orchestration

One API surface. Many rails underneath. Route any transaction across SEPA Instant, TIPS, TARGET2 and SWIFT MX — plus Request-to-Pay and Verification of Payee at the point of sending. We pick the cheapest, fastest, most reliable rail in real time. You pick the outcome.

Every transaction passes through inline AML screening, sanctions checks and the anti-fraud engine before it reaches a rail — orchestration and compliance are the same step, not separate ones. Suspicious activity is held, scored, escalated or released without anyone having to write rules from scratch.

P2PP2MA2A instantQRPayment linksShared PayRequest-to-PayInline AMLSanctions screeningFraud scoring
M.02

Built API-first

Every capability exposed as a clean, documented REST API. OAuth 2.0 and OIDC for authentication, mTLS for partner integrations.

# Send money, any rail POST /v1/payments { "amount": 50.00, "currency": "EUR", "to": "+40712345678", "rail": "auto" }
M.03

Identity & onboarding

Phone-first registration, document KYC, biometric liveness, and PEP/sanctions screening — through Sumsub, in under 30 seconds.

M.04

Ledger & wallet

Double-entry accounting with multi-currency balances, real-time reconciliation and a full audit trail. The source of truth for every cent.

M.05

Risk & fraud

A real-time AML and anti-fraud engine built into the payment flow. Behavioural scoring, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, velocity rules and Verification of Payee — coordinated, not bolted on after.

AML monitoringSanctions screeningBehavioural scoringVelocity rulesVoPCase management
M.06

Multi-tenant by design

Every tenant gets isolated data, configurable branding, bespoke fee models and independent compliance posture. Run a consumer wallet, a neobank and an expense product from the same platform — without them ever touching.

Data isolationPer-tenant configFederated IAM
M.07

AI where it matters

Contextual suggestions for recipients and amounts. Dynamic risk scoring that reduces false positives. Personalised UX that adapts to each user — with privacy by design and data minimisation as defaults, not afterthoughts.

Dynamic riskSmart suggestionsPrivacy-first
M.08

Operations console

The operator-facing back-office. Configure routing rules, fee schedules, tenant settings, risk thresholds, scheme corridors and engine selection — without engineering tickets, without redeployments. This is where “configuration, not commitment” actually happens.

Granular role-based access for ops, risk, finance and compliance teams. Every change is audited, reviewable and reversible. Approval workflows for sensitive parameters. Read-only access for auditors and regulators on request.

06 — The front-end
Hublio Pay — mobile app

Not just a backend.
A front-end that ships.

Most payment platforms stop at the API and leave you to design, build and maintain the customer-facing app yourself. We don't.

Hublio Pay is our white-label mobile front-end — a production-ready iOS and Android application that plugs into the Hublio Pay platform on day one. Your customers get a polished, conversion-tuned experience the moment you launch.
