**New `payinCategory` values (preferred) and deprecation notice**

Two new preferred `payinCategory` values are now available on v2 quote and payment endpoints:

- `PRE_FUNDING` — replaces the deprecated `FUNDED` value.
- `CREDIT_FUNDING` — replaces the deprecated `T_PLUS_ONE` value.
- `JIT_FUNDING` — for just-in-time funded payments (see below).


The legacy values `FUNDED` and `T_PLUS_ONE` continue to be accepted on v2 endpoints but are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. New integrations should use the new values. For details, see [Quotes](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/api-docs/concepts/quotes#funding-model-payincategory).

**New field: `jitFundingExpiresAt`**

Payment objects now include an optional `jitFundingExpiresAt` field (date-time, UTC) indicating the deadline by which funds must arrive for a `JIT_FUNDING` payment. This field is present only on JIT-funded payments.

**New field: `payoutExecutionDetails`**

`GET /v2/payments/{paymentId}` responses now include an optional `payoutExecutionDetails` object when available. This object provides:

- `paymentRailUsed` — the payment rail used to execute the payout (for example, ACH, Fedwire, SEPA).
- `payoutStartTime` / `payoutEndTime` — payout timing in UTC.
- `trackingReferences` — network-specific identifiers such as IMAD/OMAD for Fedwire, useful for audit and reconciliation.


This field is informational only. Availability varies by corridor and payout partner. For details, see [Create a v2 payment](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/api-docs/tutorials/create-a-v2-payment).

**New optional field: `paymentMemo`**

The `paymentMemo` field is now documented on the payment request body. It is an optional transaction-specific memo forwarded with the payment for beneficiary reconciliation. Validation rules (allowed characters, maximum length) vary by corridor.

**Deprecated ledger operations**

The ledger operations `VOID_PREFUND_BALANCE` and `OVERRIDE_PREFUND_BALANCE` are deprecated. They may appear in historical ledger records but are no longer generated for new transactions. For details, see [Ledger transactions](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/api-docs/concepts/ledger-transactions).

**New API endpoint: `GET /v2/ledger-transactions`**

Provides a paginated list of ledger transactions and running balances for a specified UTC time range, supporting customer reconciliation and operational reporting. For more information, see [Ledger transactions](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/api-docs/concepts/ledger-transactions).

**New payment state: `RETURNED`**

For more information, see [Payment lifecycle](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/introduction/concepts/payment-lifecycle) and [Payment returns](/products/payments-direct-2/v2025.11/api-docs/concepts/payment-returns).

**Feature enhancement: Tax transparency**
