One day with Kwame: money home to his mum, the old way and then in one sentence, a bill for her, his company’s invoices, and the close. The same limits, approvals and evidence govern every step.

Kwame picks who gets the money and how it arrives, sees the locked rate and the full price, pays, and follows the payment through collection, FX, payout and settlement. Every step lands in one payment record.

Did it arrive?
Yes. Mum was paid at 14:02, and the partner’s records confirm it.
The same payment, in one sentence. AgentPay works out who, how and how much, asks only what it can’t know, locks the rate, and takes payment in the chat. Underneath, the same core, limits and approvals run it, and “did it arrive?” is answered from evidence.

Why Partner B? We usually use Partner A for Ghana.
Partner A’s MTN success rate fell to 71% in the last hour, below your 95% policy, so routing chose Partner B.
Partner B then timed out, so the outcome was unknown. Nothing was retried: I asked Partner B for the status instead.

Kwame’s instruction reaches the payout network once. Flominzo routes it through the partners and policies agreed for the business, keeps every attempt against the original instruction, and treats an unknown result as something to check, not something to retry blindly.
Illustrative. Routing follows the rules you configure; the assistant explains decisions and never moves money. Chat channels are agreed for your deployment.

Flominzo checks the meter with the biller before any money moves, pays through the connected biller or aggregator, and tracks the service and the settlement separately, so a paid response never hides a missing token.

Kwame sets the rule once; the agent applies it. Approved invoices are paid to the right supplier, in their currency, at a locked rate, and anything outside the mandate waits for him. Each payment keeps its own execution and history.

Recorded your decision. TX-20418 is reconciled, with the evidence and your approval in its history.
An agent that works your exception queue. It correlates evidence across providers, partner files and bank statements, explains what it found in plain language, and recommends a resolution. You approve what happens next.
The Recon Agent never moves money and never changes a state. A person approves every resolution. Chat channels are agreed for your deployment.

What Flominzo Recon is
Flominzo Recon is an automated payment reconciliation product for payment businesses, fintechs, and finance teams. It compares what your systems say happened with independent evidence from providers, settlement files, and bank statements, and it closes each payment and each financial day only when that evidence agrees.
Recon works with payments made through Flominzo and with transactions from your existing payment platform. It can start read-only, alongside the systems you already run.
The questions Recon answers
- What should have happened, and what does our application say happened?
- What do the payout partner, the settlement report, and the bank say?
- Where is the difference, and why is there a difference?
- Who owns it, and what should happen next?
- Can this payment, or this business day, be financially closed?
How Recon works
- Connect sources: Read-only transaction records, provider APIs, verified webhooks, settlement files, and bank statements.
- Preserve evidence: Raw files and callbacks are stored with a hash and their provenance before they are interpreted.
- Match: Records are matched on agreed identifiers, amounts, currencies, and business dates. Evidence is graded
CASH,SETTLEMENT,CLAIM, orINTERNAL, and a higher grade outranks a lower one. - Raise exceptions: Each difference gets a type, an owner, and a due-by time.
- Investigate: Agents correlate the evidence and draft an explanation. A person or an approved rule makes the decision.
- Close: A payment and a business day close when no blocker remains. Late evidence reopens them, with the history preserved.
Evidence Recon reads
| Source | Examples | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| Your transaction database | Read-only replica with an agreed mapping | What your systems instructed and believe |
| Provider APIs and webhooks | Status lookups, signed callbacks | What the provider claims happened |
| Settlement files and partner reports | Settlement CSVs, payout partner reports | What the provider will settle with you |
| Bank statements and feeds | ISO 20022 camt.053 and camt.052, SWIFT MT940 | Whether cash actually moved |
Capabilities
- API, CSV, and bank-feed reconciliation.
- Payout, collection, and settlement reconciliation.
- Fee and FX reconciliation against the booked quote.
- Duplicate, orphan, and missing-evidence detection.
- Status disagreement detection between API, webhook, and file.
- Cut-off and business-day handling.
- Exception management with owners and due-by times, and evidence packs for each decision.
- Daily and per-payment financial closure, reopened by late evidence.
What 100% reconciliation means
Every payment ends either matched against independent evidence (provider, settlement file, bank statement) or as an open exception with an owner and a reason - none is silently assumed paid.
Recon does not report a match rate and leave the remainder in a spreadsheet. The unmatched remainder is the exception queue: each item typed, owned, and due. See the exception types.
Agents investigate. People decide.
The Recon Agent reads, correlates, and drafts an explanation for each exception. It can request a deterministic action, such as a status lookup or a file re-fetch, through the same controlled commands a person would use.
It never closes an exception, accepts a settlement, or writes off a difference on its own. Those decisions stay with the people and rules you approve, and every agent action is recorded with the agent as the actor.
What agents can and cannot doWho Recon is for
- Remittance and payout operators reconciling provider claims with settlement and bank evidence.
- PSPs and fintechs running several providers for the same corridor.
- Finance and treasury teams closing the business day.
- Teams with an ageing reconciliation backlog. Read the use case.
Start alongside your current systems
A Recon deployment can start with read-only access and one payment flow. Run it in parallel with your current process for a representative financial day, including late records and adjustments, before relying on it to close a day.
See the integration approachMarkets
Rails, statement formats, and regulation differ in each market. Flominzo is connected through rail adapters to the providers you use; markets, rails, and activation are agreed for your deployment.
Questions
Do we need to make payments through Flominzo to use Recon?
No. Recon can read transactions from your existing payment platform, alongside provider and bank evidence, while your current systems keep running.
Which bank statement formats does Recon read?
The integration modules include parsers for ISO 20022 camt.053 and camt.052, SWIFT MT940, and configured CSV layouts. Each format is validated against your actual files before activation.
Can we read reconciliation results through an API?
Yes. The REST API reads payment state, events, evidence, positions, settlements, and exceptions in your integration environment.
What happens if a reversal arrives after a payment was closed?
The payment reopens with a POST_CLOSURE_EVIDENCE exception. The earlier closure decision stays in the history, and the new evidence is visible next to it.
