SurePay
Name checks before paying: UK Confirmation of Payee and EU Verification of Payee through one API.
What it does
Each capability by country. Integrated means Unirail’s adapter does it today; listed means SurePay offers it according to its public documentation, and Unirail can’t route it yet.

Custody
Who holds the money while a payment through SurePay is in flight. Unirail records custody on every leg, and your routing policy decides which kinds are allowed.
- noneNo custody
Nobody holds the money. The payer’s bank pays the payee’s bank directly; the provider only instructs it.
Who is regulated
Listed by Pay.UK as a Confirmation of Payee aggregator; Unirail hasn't checked its own regulatory status.
With your own contract, you stay the provider’s customer. Unirail acts as your technical service provider and calls SurePay with your credentials.
Onboarding

- Sandbox on request
- Production
- Contract with the provider
SurePay's site offers a 14-day business trial; whether it includes API access is unverified.
Credentials
SurePay has no adapter yet, so there is no folder layout to create. It will appear here when the provider is integrated.
