Possible Ex Libris-developed integration w/CashNet?

Proposal for an Ex Libris Designed solution
Christian Ward (Sacramento) noted that Ex Libris has created a fines / fees payment integration with a vendor through the UK (see documentation here), who only accepts payments in pounds (see Administration > General Configuration > Integration Profiles > Payment). It was suggested that we press Ex Libris to develop a solution using CashNet directly, as many universities in the US use this vendor, and it would be benefit to a number of institutions.
Current export of fines and fees information integration closes fines and fees in Alma. Would like Ex Libris to provide an option to export fines and fees to third party system while keeping the fine information open and active in the user's account.
David Walker and Brandon Dudley discussed this with Ex Libris and this type of integration is not going to be added to the development roadmap at this time. Ex Libris suggests we use existing integration models using Alma APIs or Bursar export jobs.
