VIBAN Route Priority

VIBAN Route Priority controls which provider accounts a brand uses to issue VIBANs. It also sets the order the platform tries providers for each currency. It works the same way as Payment Channels, with one card for each currency instead of each category.

Permissions

You must have both permissions below together. If an operator has only one permission, the page looks editable, but saving fails.

Action	Permission required
Edit route priority	tenant:update:channels
Grant VIBAN issuance to a provider	viban_availability:manage

Why both

Adding a provider on this page does more than reorder a preference. It also allows that provider to issue VIBANs for this brand. This performs the same update as Link VIBAN to Tenants on the provider's own Linked Tenants page. If an operator only had permission to edit channels, they could grant live issuance rights without holding the permission required for that grant. For this reason, the system requires both permissions together.

Currency cards

Each card represents one currency and lists the provider accounts connected to it in priority order. The cards use the same drag-and-drop list and linked records as a Payment Channels card. The provider name links to its PSP record. Next to the name, you can see a release-state badge and the vendor name.

Adding a provider

Click Add to open the selection window. Expand a provider family to see its accounts, and expand an account to see the currencies you can add. Select a currency to stage it. The system saves nothing until you click Save on the main page.

Why a provider shows no currencies to add

If an expanded provider account shows No currencies available for this provider, it is due to one of these reasons:

Cause	What to do
Its banks have never been discovered	Run Discover banks on the VIBAN Availability page for this provider
Every route under it is switched off	Turn the relevant bank or currency route back on in VIBAN Availability
Every currency it supports is already added to this brand	Nothing to do — it's already fully connected

What's different from Payment Channels

Unlike Payment Channels, a provider added here is not a payment method that customers see directly. Instead, it sets the routing preference behind VIBAN issuance. Customers only see a wire transfer option if you add the wire channel separately. This page only decides which provider the platform uses when that channel issues an account.

Saving changes

Like Payment Channels, adding, removing, and reordering providers here is staged until you click Save. If you leave the page without saving, the system discards all pending changes.
