Get Started with the CUMIS APIs

Background:

CUMIS Creditor Insurance products are available via credit union partners and other organizations across Canada. This Creditor insurance is typically part of the credit product sales using a credit union’s loan origination system (LOS).

Currently, the approach to integrate with Credit Unions, is using the iCLIC web container application that is embedded in an LOS application and interacts via JSON messaging.

CUMIS is transforming this integration approach and moving to an API-led strategy. As part of this transition, CUMIS has introduced the following set of APIs, enabling partners to communicate with CUMIS system to sell insurance and manage credit products.

Getting Started

The APIs described in the CUMIS Developer portal are only available to partners with an established relationship. To subscribe for access to the APIs please contact us at apis@cumis.com.

Accessing your new Developer Account

Your new CUMIS Developer Account with allow you to subscribe to the APIs best suited to your solution. The Developer Account will be associated with a test contract at CUMIS that provides access to a wide range of CUMIS insurance products. For existing web service and Container partners, the same test account setup could used for the APIs.

Onboarding Process

Once a Developer Account is established CUMIS will work with you to understand your needs and suggest the APIs best suited to your needs. This will include a business process mapping session (BPM) where a sample workflow is described and detailing where and when different APIs should be invoked in your application. The CUMIS technical team will reach out to you to walk you thru this onboarding process. This includes helping you configure your test environment setup and ensuring that the appropriate security standards are in place in establishing connectivity.
