The Payment Inquiry Microjourney is available in web self-service and assisted-service channels.

Web self-service is the primary interface for commercial bank customers to initiate an inquiry into a specific payment.
Web Self-Service
With web self-service, customers can open a payment inquiry when they receive notification of a specific payment transaction.
- Customer reviews the notification that contains the details of the payment received by the bank.
- Missing data is proactively identified and displayed to the customer.
- When the customer uses the bank’s self-service channel to request a payment inquiry, the probable inquiry reason is prefilled.
