Use payment orders to send payment instructions to your partner banks, CSMs, or Swift through Mambu Payments. Mambu Payments receives payment orders, formats them, batches them if applicable, and sends them to your partner banks, CSMs, or Swift. Mambu Payments retrieves and updates payment statuses. Payment status updates are sent to your webhooks as events.

Execution date
A payment order does not have an execution date. The execution date is the date when the payment order is added to a payment file and sent to the bank, taking into consideration applicable your bank's cut-off time and CSM's calendar.
If you would like to schedule and execute a payment order on a specific date, you should create it on this date, taking into consideration applicable your bank's cut-off time and CSM's calendar.
