NexumAPI

The fastest way to develop with SymXchange.

With NexumAPI, your systems can freely communicate with the Symitar core platform over SymXchange using our modern JSON / RESTful interface to rapidly engineer the next best credit union app using standard JSON data representation by default.

Originally unveiled at CU Build in 2023 — NexumAPI is a translation engine that translates SymXchange request/response payloads in the single millisecond range and that's for every service, every operation, on any supported version.

Oh, and we have interactive online docs for the entire SymXchange API.

Now your Symitar core speaks AI

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-compatible client straight to SymXchange and ask for what you need in plain language. Read-only out of the box — with writes off by default, granular policy controls, confirmation for high-impact writes, and a full audit trail — so it's safe enough for a banking core.
“Look up the member tied to this debit card.”“What would a 72-month, $40k RV loan run per month?”“Verify check #1183 on this account.”

"NexumAPI isn't just another middleware or endpoint; it's a revolution for Jack Henry credit unions. It transforms the way we interact with the Symitar core, replacing outdated software and systems with a modern, streamlined approach. It significantly lowers the barrier to entry for working with the Symitar core via SymXchange."

FAQ

Yes. NexumAPI maps one-to-one to every SymXchange SOAP service and operation, and stays in version parity as your Symitar core updates — so you can reach anything SymXchange exposes with modern JSON instead of SOAP.
Either. Run NexumAPI yourself, or use NaaS (NexumAPI as a Service) — fully managed by Libum with an optional VPN tunnel, load balancing, automatic updates, and high availability.
Yes. The NexumAPI MCP server exposes the Symitar core through SymXchange to AI assistants over the Model Context Protocol, so your team can ask in plain language instead of hand-writing requests.
Any MCP-compatible client — including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex — can connect to the NexumAPI MCP server and work with your Symitar core.
Yes. The NexumAPI MCP server is read-only by default, keeps your SymXchange credentials separate from the AI, supports policy allowlists for approved tools, operations, credential types, and identities, requires confirmation for high-impact writes, and logs every call for a complete audit trail.
Yes. MCP inherits your NexumAPI service and version gating, then can be narrowed further with policy allowlists for specific MCP tools, SymXchange service verbs, operations, credential types, and authenticated user identities.
For the REST API you send JSON instead of SOAP, with no XML to wrangle. And with the NexumAPI MCP server you can skip code entirely — just ask your AI assistant in natural language.
