Changes to API ahead of Euro Migration

As Bulgaria adopts the euro as its official currency on January 1, 2026, we would like to inform you about important updates coming to PIS API Live version 2.1.0:
  • Discontinuation of BGN payment products
The products Domestic-credit-transfers-bgn and Domestic-budget-transfers-bgn will be retired, as payments in BGN will no longer be supported.
  • Introduction of instant euro transfers
A new product, Instant-sepa-credit-transfers, will be available for executing instant credit transfers in euro after 20.01.2026. A sample payment request definition is already accessible in the sandbox environment for your convenience.
  • Budget payments in euro
For local budget payments, please use the product sepa-credit-transfer. Budget-specific details (debtor ID and payment category) will now be included in a new attribute called ultimateDebtor.
We encourage you to review these changes and update your systems accordingly to ensure a smooth transition. Should you have any questions or require assistance, our team is here to support you.
