Introduction

Rightfoot's API generates student debt beneficiary accounts and transfers funds to their loans.

We have language bindings for Python and TypeScript. You can view code examples in the dark area to the right, and you can switch the programming language of the examples with the tabs in the top right. If SDKs/libraries are desired for other languages, we are happy to develop them based on demand.

Authentication

import rightfoot

configuration = rightfoot.Configuration()
# Defaults to sandbox, but can be explicitly set to sandbox/production.
configuration.host="https://sandbox.api.rightfoot.com/v1"
configuration.api_key['Authorization'] = os.env['RIGHTFOOT_API_KEY']
configuration.api_key_prefix['Authorization'] = 'Bearer'
rightfoot_client = rightfoot.RightfootApi(rightfoot.ApiClient(configuration))

import { Configuration, RightfootApi } from 'rightfoot-node';

const config: Configuration = new Configuration({
  apiKey: `Bearer ${RIGHTFOOT_API_KEY}`,
});

const rightfootClient = new RightfootApi(config, "https://sandbox.api.rightfoot.com/v1");

export RIGHTFOOT_HOST=https://sandbox.api.rightfoot.com/v1
export RIGHTFOOT_API_KEY=sandbox-rightfoot_api_key

Make sure to replace secure-private-key with your API key.

Rightfoot uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can register a new Rightfoot API key by contacting us at info@rightfoot.com.

Rightfoot expects for the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:

Authorization: Bearer secure-private-key

Onboarding a New Application

To request a new Rightfoot API key, contact us at info@rightfoot.com. Rightfoot will facilitate the onboarding process to:

• Perform KYC verification of your business for compliance purposes.
• Connect a funding source/bank account for drawing payments against.

Beneficiaries

Beneficiaries are the end-users, which receive credits to their loans via use of these APIs. As appropriate for the given product consuming these APIs, beneficiaries are created and managed to attach loan accounts to and issue payment instructions to benefit.

Loan Linking

Beneficiaries need to add some basic information about their loans to complete their onboarding process. We support two approaches for providing loan account details to Rightfoot: 1) a bring-your-own-data experience, and 2) a Rightfoot-managed Plaid experience.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, but most customers choose to manage their own Plaid integration and link provide the subset of data because they:

• Own the business relationship with Plaid or other financial aggregators.
• Avoid vendor lock-in with Rightfoot due to Rightfoot having sole-access to loan data.
• Grant Rightfoot access to only the loan data required for payments, for privacy and security reasons, owning the responsibility for all other data acquired about users' loans.

In some cases, customers choose to let Rightfoot manage the Plaid integration because they:

• Want Rightfoot to own the business relationship with Plaid, billing you the costs associated with this.
• Want to test Rightfoot end-to-end prior to finishing onboarding with Plaid.
• Avoid access to the loan data for privacy and security reasons, deferring that responsibility exclusively to Rightfoot.
• Do not have a use for the loan data provided by Plaid in their products.
• Want to avoid any backend integration against Plaid, and only integrate your backend against Rightfoot's APIs. (note: this still requires use of Plaid Link in a UI with Rightfoot's public key, but this is a thin-integration).

This endpoint is agnostic to the collection method of loan data, and allows your application to own the loan data and loan data connection through financial data aggregators like Plaid, Finicity, Yodlee, MX, and more. A subset of data is required from the loan data obtained from the aggregator. While it is possible to collect this data directly from the beneficiary, it is strongly preferable to use an aggregator, as this provides validation to the data being correct. Human-entered data has a higher rate of failed payments.

This endpoint connects an authenticated Plaid account, when beneficiaries log into their loans using Plaid Link in your UI using Rightfoot's public Plaid key, 1773c898604f2bd4d68ecbbc8504f9. This has the advantage of an experience completely controlled by the consuming product. Rightfoot binds the loan accounts, billing the customer for the one-time charges incurred, exchanging the public key in the background, maintaining loan records. Your application does not have access to the loan data in this approach.

Funding Sources

Funding sources specify the source where the payment is coming from. Funding sources can be attached to benefactors, organizations, or beneficiaries*, depending on your app's funding model. (*As of February 2022, creating funding sources with beneficiaries has been deprecated, please use the more robust benefactor model instead.)

Two models of providing a Plaid token are supported, depending on if you are already using Plaid in your application. If you currently use Plaid in your application you can pass in a Dwolla processor token that you retrieve with the Plaid-Dwolla integration. For more information on the flows that are being satisfied with our payment processor Dwolla, you can read Dwolla and Plaids’ official documentation on the topic.

If you do not have a relationship with Plaid, you can pass in the Plaid Token created with Plaid Link using Rightfoot's public Plaid key: 1773c898604f2bd4d68ecbbc8504f9

Create Funding Source for Organization

In addition to using Dwolla and Plaid tokens, funding sources for Organizations can also be created using a bank account number and the bank account's routing number. The funding source will have a status of UNVERIFIED. Ownership of the account needs to be verified via micro-deposit verification before money can be transferred from the linked bank account to the funding source.

After initiating micro-deposits, Dwolla will transfer two random amounts of less than $0.10 to the linked bank account in 1-2 business days. Once these deposits are received, the two amounts can be verified with the Verify Funding Source endpoint. POST https://production.api.rightfoot.com/v1/fundingSources

Payments

Payments are issued per-beneficiary with individual requests for transfer. They pay down the beneficiary's highest interest loan first, in order to minimize capitalized interest.

Payments are withdrawn from funding sources using ACH. Bank ledger memos will typically reference a combination of Rightfoot and/or Charitize, Inc., as the processor.

While payments may complete within 3-8 business days, most payments typically process in 3-4 business days. A majority of this time is due to a waiting period in order to account for ACH return risk, where debited funds are cleared in 2-4 business days. Next-day payments are possible for customers with enterprise contracts.
