Relay: SFTP Upload Support

· One min read

BrightMatch Relay now supports SFTP as an alternative method for lending partners to send loan application outcome data back to BrightMatch.

SFTP as an alternative to webhooks

The primary and preferred method for sending data back to BrightMatch remains the Relay webhook API, which provides a standardised schema and real-time delivery. However, we recognise that not all lending partners are able to integrate with an HTTP webhook directly.

For these partners, we now offer a dedicated SFTP server where outcome files can be uploaded. We accept any reasonable file format (CSV, JSON, Excel, etc.), though we encourage aligning with the standard Relay schema where possible.

Getting started

Connection details and a CLI example are available in the Relay (SFTP) documentation. To request SFTP credentials, contact your BrightMatch integration representative.
