-Wire Transfer Formats
-=====================
-
-A wire transfer is essential for the exchange to transfer funds into a merchant's
-account upon a successful deposit (see :ref:`deposit request <deposit>`). The
-merchant has to include the necessary information for the exchange to initiate the
-wire transfer.
-
-The information required for wire transfer depends on the type of wire transfer
-used. Since the wire transfers differ for each region, we document here the
-ones currently supported by the exchange.
-
-TEST
-----
-
-The TEST wire format is used for testing and for integration with Taler's
-simple "bank" system which in the future might be useful to setup a bank
-for a local / regional currency or accounting system. Using the TEST
-wire format in combination with the Taler's bank, it is thus possible to
-fully test the Taler system without using "real" currencies. The wire
-format for "TEST" is very simple, in that it only specifies an account
-number in a field "account_number" and the URI of the bank:
-
- * `type`: the string constant `"test"`
- * `bank_uri`: the URI of the bank (starting with `http://` or `https://`)
- * `account_number`: the number of the account at the bank
-
-The account number given must be a positive 53-bit integer.
-Additional fields may be present, but are not required.
-
-Note that a particular exchange is usually only supporting one
-particular bank with the "TEST" wire format, so it is not possible for
-a merchant with an account at a different bank to use "TEST" to
-transfer funds across banks. After all, this is for testing and not
-for real banking.
-
-SEPA
-----
-
-The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) [#sepa]_ is a regulation for electronic
-payments. Since its adoption in 2012, all of the banks in the Eurozone and some
-banks in other countries adhere to this standard for sending and receiving
-payments. Note that the currency of the transfer will (currently) always be *EURO*. In
-case the receiving account is in a currency other than EURO, the receiving bank
-may covert the amount into that currency; currency exchange charges may be
-levied by the receiving bank.
-
-For the merchant to receive deposits through SEPA, the deposit request must
-contain a JSON object with the following fields:
-
- .. The following are taken from Page 33, SEPA_SCT.pdf .
-
- * `type`: the string constant `"sepa"`
- * `iban`: the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) of the account of the beneficiary
- * `name`: the name of the beneficiary
- * `bic`: the Bank Identification Code (BIC) code of the beneficiary's bank
- * `salt`: random salt (used to make brute-forcing the hash harder)
-
-The JSON object may optionally contain:
- * `address`: the address of the Beneficiary
-
-The implementation of the SEPA plugin is currently incomplete. Specifically, we need a working implementation of `libebics` which is a sub-project trying to implement the EBICS [#ebics]_ standard.
